2 # wan devices configuration
6 bool "Wan interfaces support"
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.
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

255 FarSite Communications Ltd.
257 Synchronous communication is supported on all ports at speeds up to
258 8Mb/s (128K on V.24) using synchronous PPP, Cisco HDLC, raw HDLC,
259 Frame Relay or X.25/LAPB.
261 If you want the module to be automatically loaded when the interface
262 is referenced then you should add "alias hdlcX farsync" to a file
263 in /etc/modprobe.d/ for each interface, where X is 0, 1, 2, ..., or

295 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
298 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
299 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
300 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
301 code for these operations.
303 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
306 bool "Hard reset support"
309 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
310 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
311 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
312 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
313 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
314 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.

331 access provider or to form a private wide area network. The one
332 physical line from your box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry
333 point to the Frame Relay network, usually at the phone company) can
334 carry several logical point-to-point connections to other computers
335 connected to the Frame Relay network. For a general explanation of
336 the protocol, check out <http://www.mplsforum.org/>.
338 To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (called FRAD) and
339 certain programs from the net-tools package as explained in

376 you to open an LAPB point-to-point connection to some other computer
377 on your Ethernet network.
379 In order to do this, you need to say Y or M to the driver for your
380 Ethernet card as well as to "LAPB Data Link Driver".
382 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
383 module will be called lapbether.

389 depends on LAPB && X25 && TTY
391 Send and receive X.25 frames over regular asynchronous serial
392 lines such as telephone lines equipped with ordinary modems.
394 Experts should note that this driver doesn't currently comply with
395 the asynchronous HDLS framing protocols in CCITT recommendation X.25.

414 module will be called sbni.
418 config SBNI_MULTILINE
419 bool "Multiple line feature support"
422 Schedule traffic for some parallel lines, via SBNI12 adapters.
424 If you have two computers connected with two parallel lines it's
425 possible to increase transfer rate nearly twice. You should have
426 a program named 'sbniconfig' to configure adapters.
