2 # wan devices configuration
9 bool "Wan interfaces support"
11 Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, frame relay and leased
12 lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
13 distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
14 achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
15 Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
16 needed to connect to a WAN.
18 As an alternative, a relatively inexpensive WAN interface card can
19 allow your Linux box to directly connect to a WAN. If you have one
20 of those cards and wish to use it under Linux, say Y here and also
21 to the WAN driver for your card, below.

43 V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the
44 character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
47 To actually use the COSA or SRP board, you will need user-space
48 utilities for downloading the firmware to the cards and to set them
49 up. Look at the <http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/cosa/> for more
50 information about the cards (including the pointer to the user-space
51 utilities). You can also read the comment at the top of the

170 ports card. Take a look at <http://www.cogenit.fr/dscc4/>
171 for further informations about the driver and his configuration.
173 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
174 will be called dscc4.
177 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
180 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
181 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
182 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
183 code for these operations.
185 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
188 bool "Hard reset support"
191 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the asic.

193 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
194 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
196 The feature is known to be available on Commtech's cards.

596 port can support an independent PPP connection. For example, a
597 single Quad-Port PCI adapter can support up to four independent
