| 7 | ---help--- |
| 8 | Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased |
| 9 | lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast |
| 10 | distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those |
| 11 | achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is |
| 14 | needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively |
| 15 | inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly |
| 16 | connect to a WAN. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux, |
| 19 | say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | If unsure, say N. |

| 364 | Driver for a pseudo device (typically called /dev/lapb0) which allows |
| 365 | you to open an LAPB point-to-point connection to some other computer |
| 366 | on your Ethernet network. |
| 367 | |
| 368 | In order to do this, you need to say Y or M to the driver for your |
| 369 | Ethernet card as well as to "LAPB Data Link Driver". |
| 370 | |
| 371 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
