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.

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).

2763 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2764 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2765 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2766 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2767 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2768 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2769 enabled for this to work.
2770
2771 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2772 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2773 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2774 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2775 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2776 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2777 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2778 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2779 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2780 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2947 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2948 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2949 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2950
2951 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2952 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2953 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2954 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002958 ---help---
2959 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2960 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2961 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2962 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2963 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2964 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2965 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2966 purpose.
2967
2968 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2969 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2970 around (available from
2971 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2972 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2973 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2974 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2975 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2976 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2977 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2978 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2979 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2980 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2981 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

2991 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2992 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2993 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2994 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2995 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2996 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2997 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2998 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from

3020 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3021 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3022 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3023 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3024 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3025 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3026 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
