| 22 | Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio |
| 23 | IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project |
| 24 | (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet |
| 25 | traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery |
| 26 | powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and |
| 27 | weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called |
| 28 | "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads |
| 29 | many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a |
| 30 | phone line and use it as a modem.) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although |
| 33 | it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you |
| 34 | think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm |
| 35 | in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit |
| 36 | bigger. |
