13 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
14 any other computer at all.
15
16 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
17 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
18 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
19 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
20 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

161 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted

163 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),

166 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)

2433 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2434 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2435 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2436 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2437 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2438 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2439 enabled for this to work.
2440
2441 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2442 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2443 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2444 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2445 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2446 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2447 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2448 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2449 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2450 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2468 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2469 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2470 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2471 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2472 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2473

2477 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2478 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.

2480 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2481 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2482 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2483 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2484 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
