Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07006 bool "Wan interfaces support"
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.
