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

251 tristate "FarSync T-Series support"
252 depends on HDLC && PCI
254 Support for the FarSync T-Series X.21 (and V.35/V.24) cards by
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
264 simply use "alias hdlc* farsync" to indicate all of them.

280 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
281 module will be called dscc4.
284 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
287 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
288 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
289 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
290 code for these operations.
292 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
295 bool "Hard reset support"
298 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
299 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
300 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
301 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
302 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
303 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.
305 Say Y if your card supports this feature.
308 tristate "Intel IXP4xx HSS (synchronous serial port) support"

315 tristate "Frame Relay DLCI support"
317 Support for the Frame Relay protocol.
319 Frame Relay is a fast low-cost way to connect to a remote Internet
320 access provider or to form a private wide area network. The one
321 physical line from your box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry
322 point to the Frame Relay network, usually at the phone company) can
323 carry several logical point-to-point connections to other computers
324 connected to the Frame Relay network. For a general explanation of
325 the protocol, check out <http://www.mplsforum.org/>.
327 To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (called FRAD) and
328 certain programs from the net-tools package as explained in
329 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
331 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
332 module will be called dlci.
335 int "Max DLCI per device"
339 How many logical point-to-point frame relay connections (the
340 identifiers of which are called DCLIs) should be handled by each
341 of your hardware frame relay access devices.

347 depends on DLCI && ISA
349 Driver for the Sangoma S502A, S502E, and S508 Frame Relay Access

364 Driver for a pseudo device (typically called /dev/lapb0) which allows
365 you to open an LAPB point-to-point connection to some other computer
366 on your Ethernet network.
368 In order to do this, you need to say Y or M to the driver for your
369 Ethernet card as well as to "LAPB Data Link Driver".
371 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
372 module will be called lapbether.
377 tristate "X.25 async driver"
378 depends on LAPB && X25 && TTY
380 Send and receive X.25 frames over regular asynchronous serial
381 lines such as telephone lines equipped with ordinary modems.
383 Experts should note that this driver doesn't currently comply with
384 the asynchronous HDLS framing protocols in CCITT recommendation X.25.
386 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
387 module will be called x25_asy.

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