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.

462 Send and receive X.25 frames over regular asynchronous serial
463 lines such as telephone lines equipped with ordinary modems.

465 Experts should note that this driver doesn't currently comply with
466 the asynchronous HDLS framing protocols in CCITT recommendation X.25.

468 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
469 module will be called x25_asy.

493 Schedule traffic for some parallel lines, via SBNI12 adapters.
494
495 If you have two computers connected with two parallel lines it's
496 possible to increase transfer rate nearly twice. You should have
497 a program named 'sbniconfig' to configure adapters.
