12 any other computer at all.

15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
16 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
17 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

186 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
187 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
188
189 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
190 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
191 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
192 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
193 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
194 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
195 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
196 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
197 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

2756 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2757 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2758 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2759 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2760 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2761 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2762 enabled for this to work.
2763
2764 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2765 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2766 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2767 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2768 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2769 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2770 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2771 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2772 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2773 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2940 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2941 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2942 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2943
2944 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2945 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2946 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2947 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002951 ---help---
2952 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2953 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2954 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2955 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2956 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2957 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2958 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2959 purpose.
2960
2961 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2962 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2963 around (available from
2964 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2965 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2966 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2967 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2968 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2969 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2970 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2971 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2972 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2973 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2974 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

2984 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2985 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2986 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2987 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2988 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2989 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2990 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2991 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2992 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2993 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

3013 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3014 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3015 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3016 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3017 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3018 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3019 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
