bool "Network device support" ---help--- You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to any other computer at all. You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links. See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>. If unsure, say Y. |

If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e. |
