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
18 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

57 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
58 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your

186 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
187 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.

189 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
190 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
191 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
192 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
193 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
194 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
195 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
196 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
197 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

2736 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2737 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2738 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2739 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2740 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2741 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2742 enabled for this to work.
2743
2744 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2745 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2746 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2747 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2748 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2749 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2750 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2751 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2752 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2753 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2754 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2757 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2758 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2759 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2760 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges

2771 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2772 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2773 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2774 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2775 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2776
2777 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2778 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2779 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2780 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2781 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2782
2783 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2784 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2785 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2786 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2787 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2788 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2789 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2790 synchronous PPP", below.
2791
2792 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2793 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2794 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M

2801 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2802 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2803 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2804
2805 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a

2932 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2933 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2934 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2935 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2936 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2937 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2938 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2939 purpose.
2940
2941 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2942 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2943 around (available from
2944 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2945 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2946 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2947 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2948 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2949 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just

2951 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
