12 any other computer at all.

14 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
16 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
17 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

181 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
182 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
183
184 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
185 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
186 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
187 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
188 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
189 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
190 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
191 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
192 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

2805 ---help---
2806 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2807 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2808 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2809 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2810 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2811 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2812 enabled for this to work.
2813
2814 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2815 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2816 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2817 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2818 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2819 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2820 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2821 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2822 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2823 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2824 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2827 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2828 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2829 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2830 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2831 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2840 ---help---
2841 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2842 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2843 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2844 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2845 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2846
2847 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2848 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2849 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2850 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2851 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2852
2853 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2854 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2855 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2856 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2857 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2858 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2859 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2860 synchronous PPP", below.
2861
2862 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
