---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, a relatively
|
|
inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly
|
|
connect to a WAN.
|
|
|
|
If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux,
|
|
say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card.

|
|

If unsure, say N.
