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).

2772 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2773 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2774 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2775 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2776 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2777 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2778 enabled for this to work.
2779
2780 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2781 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2782 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2783 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2784 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2785 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2786 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2787 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2788 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2789 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2946 help
2947 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2948 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2949 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2950 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.

2956 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2957 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2958 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2959
2960 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2961 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2962 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2963 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).

2968 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2969 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2970 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2971 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2972 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2973 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2974 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2975 purpose.
2976
2977 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2978 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2979 around (available from
2980 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2981 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2982 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2983 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2984 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2985 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2986 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2987 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2988 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2989 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2990 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

3000 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3001 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3002 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3003 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3004 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3005 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3006 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3007 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3008 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3009 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

3029 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3030 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3031 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3032 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3033 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3034 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3035 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

3045 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
