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