12 WANPIPE(tm) is a family of intelligent multiprotocol WAN communication adapters
13 for personal computers (ISA bus) designed to provide PC connectivity to
14 various communication links, such as leased lines and public data networks, at
15 speeds up to T1/E1 using a variety of synchronous communications protocols,
16 including frame relay, PPP, X.25, SDLC, etc.
18 WANPIPE driver together with Linux WAN Router module allows you to build a
19 relatively inexpensive, yet high-performance multiprotocol WAN router. For
20 more information about the Linux WAN Router please read the file
21 Documentation/networking/wan-router.txt. You must also obtain the WAN Tools
22 package to be able to use the Linux WAN Router and WANPIPE driver. The package
23 is available via the Internet from Sangoma Technologies' anonymous FTP server:
25 ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/wantools-X.Y.Z.tgz
27 ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/wanpipe-X.Y.Z.tgz
29 The names of the packages differ only due to naming convention. The
30 functionality of wantools and wanpipe packages are the same. The latest
31 version of the WAN Drivers is wanpipe-2.0.0.
