2 # wan devices configuration
6 bool "Wan interfaces support"
8 Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
9 lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
10 distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
11 achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
13 Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
14 needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
15 inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly

287 FarSite Communications Ltd.
289 Synchronous communication is supported on all ports at speeds up to
290 8Mb/s (128K on V.24) using synchronous PPP, Cisco HDLC, raw HDLC,
291 Frame Relay or X.25/LAPB.
293 If you want the module to be automatically loaded when the interface
294 is referenced then you should add "alias hdlcX farsync" to
295 /etc/modprobe.conf for each interface, where X is 0, 1, 2, ..., or
296 simply use "alias hdlc* farsync" to indicate all of them.

312 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
313 module will be called dscc4.
316 bool "Etinc PCISYNC features"
319 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
320 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
321 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
322 code for these operations.
324 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
327 bool "Hard reset support"
330 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
331 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
332 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
333 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
334 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
335 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.
337 Say Y if your card supports this feature.
340 tristate "Frame Relay DLCI support"
342 Support for the Frame Relay protocol.
344 Frame Relay is a fast low-cost way to connect to a remote Internet
345 access provider or to form a private wide area network. The one
346 physical line from your box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry
347 point to the Frame Relay network, usually at the phone company) can
348 carry several logical point-to-point connections to other computers
349 connected to the Frame Relay network. For a general explanation of
350 the protocol, check out <http://www.mplsforum.org/>.
352 To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (called FRAD) and
353 certain programs from the net-tools package as explained in
354 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.
356 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
357 module will be called dlci.
360 int "Max DLCI per device"

365 identifiers of which are called DCLIs) should be handled by each
366 of your hardware frame relay access devices.

377 These are multi-protocol cards, but only Frame Relay is supported
378 by the driver at this time. Please read
379 <file:Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt>.

382 module will be called sdla.

391 Select driver your card and remember to say Y to "Wan Router."
392 You will need the wan-tools package which is available from
393 <ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/>.
395 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
396 kernel except for how subordinate drivers may be built:
397 saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
398 the questions about WAN router drivers.
403 tristate "Cyclom 2X(tm) cards (EXPERIMENTAL)"
404 depends on WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS && (PCI || ISA)
406 Cyclom 2X from Cyclades Corporation <http://www.cyclades.com/> is an
407 intelligent multiprotocol WAN adapter with data transfer rates up to
408 512 Kbps. These cards support the X.25 and SNA related protocols.
410 While no documentation is available at this time please grab the
412 <http://www.conectiva.com.br/~acme/cycsyn-devel/> (with minor changes
413 to make it compile with the current wanrouter include files; efforts
414 are being made to use the original package available at

419 additional details, I hope to have documentation available as soon as
420 possible. (Cyclades Brazil is writing the Documentation).
