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

285 FarSite Communications Ltd.
287 Synchronous communication is supported on all ports at speeds up to
288 8Mb/s (128K on V.24) using synchronous PPP, Cisco HDLC, raw HDLC,
289 Frame Relay or X.25/LAPB.
291 If you want the module to be automatically loaded when the interface
292 is referenced then you should add "alias hdlcX farsync" to

310 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
311 module will be called dscc4.
314 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
317 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
318 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
319 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
320 code for these operations.
322 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
325 bool "Hard reset support"
328 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
329 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
330 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
331 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
332 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
333 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.
335 Say Y if your card supports this feature.
338 tristate "Frame Relay DLCI support"
340 Support for the Frame Relay protocol.
342 Frame Relay is a fast low-cost way to connect to a remote Internet
343 access provider or to form a private wide area network. The one
344 physical line from your box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry
345 point to the Frame Relay network, usually at the phone company) can
346 carry several logical point-to-point connections to other computers
347 connected to the Frame Relay network. For a general explanation of
348 the protocol, check out <http://www.mplsforum.org/>.
350 To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (called FRAD) and
351 certain programs from the net-tools package as explained in
352 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
354 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
355 module will be called dlci.
358 int "Max DLCI per device"

375 These are multi-protocol cards, but only Frame Relay is supported
376 by the driver at this time. Please read
377 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
379 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
380 module will be called sdla.

392 <file:Documentation/networking/wan-router.txt>.
394 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
395 kernel except for how subordinate drivers may be built:
396 saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
397 the questions about WAN router drivers.
402 tristate "Cyclom 2X(tm) cards (EXPERIMENTAL)"
403 depends on WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS && (PCI || ISA)
405 Cyclom 2X from Cyclades Corporation <http://www.cyclades.com/> is an
406 intelligent multiprotocol WAN adapter with data transfer rates up to
407 512 Kbps. These cards support the X.25 and SNA related protocols.
409 While no documentation is available at this time please grab the
411 <http://www.conectiva.com.br/~acme/cycsyn-devel/> (with minor changes
412 to make it compile with the current wanrouter include files; efforts
413 are being made to use the original package available at
414 <ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/>).
416 Feel free to contact me or the cycsyn-devel mailing list at
417 <acme@conectiva.com.br> and <cycsyn-devel@bazar.conectiva.com.br> for
418 additional details, I hope to have documentation available as soon as
419 possible. (Cyclades Brazil is writing the Documentation).
