12 any other computer at all.

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).

2821 ---help---
2822 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2823 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2824 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2825 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2826 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2827 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2828 enabled for this to work.
2829
2830 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2831 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2832 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2833 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2834 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2835 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2836 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2837 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2838 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2839 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2857 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2858 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2859 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2860 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2861 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2862
2863 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2864 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2865 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2866 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2867 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2868
2869 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2870 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2871 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2872 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2873 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2874 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2875 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
