  # Configuration for WAN router

  config WAN_ROUTER
  	tristate "WAN router"
  	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
  	---help---
  	  Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, frame relay and leased
  	  lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
  	  distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
  	  achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
  	  Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
  	  needed to connect to a WAN.
  
  	  As an alternative, WAN routing can be built into the Linux kernel.
  	  With relatively inexpensive WAN interface cards available on the
  	  market, a perfectly usable router can be built for less than half
  	  the price of an external router.  If you have one of those cards and
  	  wish to use your Linux box as a WAN router, say Y here and also to
  	  the WAN driver for your card, below.  You will then need the
  	  wan-tools package which is available from <ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/>.

  	  To compile WAN routing support as a module, choose M here: the
  	  module will be called wanrouter.
  
  	  If unsure, say N.
