  9. X.25 is a set of standardized network protocols, similar in scope to
  10. frame relay; the one physical line from your box to the X.25 network
  11. entry point can carry several logical point-to-point connections
  12. (called "virtual circuits") to other computers connected to the X.25
  13. network. Governments, banks, and other organizations tend to use it
  14. to connect to each other or to form Wide Area Networks (WANs). Many
  15. countries have public X.25 networks. X.25 consists of two
  16. protocols: the higher level Packet Layer Protocol (PLP) (say Y here
  17. if you want that) and the lower level data link layer protocol LAPB
  18. (say Y to "LAPB Data Link Driver" below if you want that).
  19. You can read more about X.25 at <http://www.sangoma.com/x25.htm> and
  20. <http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios11/cbook/cx25.htm>.
  21. Information about X.25 for Linux is contained in the files
  22. <file:Documentation/networking/x25.txt> and
  23. <file:Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt>.
  24. One connects to an X.25 network either with a dedicated network card
  25. using the X.21 protocol (not yet supported by Linux) or one can do
  26. X.25 over a standard telephone line using an ordinary modem (say Y
  27. to "X.25 async driver" below) or over Ethernet using an ordinary
  28. Ethernet card and the LAPB over Ethernet (say Y to "LAPB Data Link
  29. Driver" and "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below).
  30. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  31. will be called x25. If unsure, say N.
