- depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
- help
- HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
- 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
- can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
- single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
- connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
- and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
- under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
- for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.

- If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
- of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
- transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
- kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
- the memory.
- config PLIP
- tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
- depends on PARPORT
- ---help---
- PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
- reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
- local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
- install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
- CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
- first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
- enabled for this to work.
- The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
- ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
- with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
- bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
- bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
- time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
- <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
- 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
- and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
- driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
- and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
- If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
- as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
- protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
- with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
- your kernel by about 8 KB.
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
- will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
- a laptop later.
- config PPP
- tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
- select SLHC
- ---help---
- PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
- the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
- serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
- otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
- days support PPP rather than SLIP.
- To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
- in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
- the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
- The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
- There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
- asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
- synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
- example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
- asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
- the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
- synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
- synchronous PPP", below.
- If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
- you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
- compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
- here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
- config PPP_MULTILINK
- bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
- to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
- connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
- This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
- version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
- If unsure, say N.
- config PPP_FILTER
- bool "PPP filtering"
- depends on PPP
- help
- Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
- PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
- activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
- a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
- You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
- active-filter options to pppd.
- If unsure, say N.
- config PPP_ASYNC
- tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
- depends on PPP
- select CRC_CCITT
- ---help---
- Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
- asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
- a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
- need this option.
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
- If unsure, say Y.
- config PPP_SYNC_TTY
- tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
- depends on PPP
- help
- Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
- (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
- are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
- config PPP_DEFLATE
- tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
- depends on PPP
- select ZLIB_INFLATE
- select ZLIB_DEFLATE
- ---help---
- Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
- Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
- each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
- other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
- Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
- they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
- config PPP_BSDCOMP
- tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
- depends on PPP
- ---help---
- Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
- the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
- sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
- (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
- method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
- it is safe to say Y here.
- The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
- above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
- and is patent-free.
- Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
- module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
- modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

- depends on ATM && PPP
- help
- Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
- This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,

- config SLIP
- tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
- ---help---
- Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
- connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
- other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
- Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
- Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
- serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
- nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
- purpose.
- Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
- to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
- around (available from
- <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
- allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
- you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
- NET-3-HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
- configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
- want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
- Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
- some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
- <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
- support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

- config SLIP_COMPRESSED
- bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
- depends on SLIP
- select SLHC
- ---help---
- This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
- TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
- on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
- answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
- you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
- <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
- allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
- definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from

- config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
- bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
- depends on SLIP
- help
- Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
- networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
- bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
- "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
- the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
- end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
- over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
