13 | You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to | |
14 | any other computer at all. | |
15 | ||
16 | You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that | |
17 | you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over | |
18 | telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting | |
19 | two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as | |
20 | AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links. | |
21 | ||

23 | Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>. | |

47 | This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to | |
48 | this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP | |
49 | address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently | |
50 | inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs. | |
51 | If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this | |
52 | thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your | |
53 | kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network | |

1650 | help | |
1651 | Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial | |
1652 | networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven | |
1653 | bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: | |
1654 | "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over | |
1655 | the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other | |
1656 | end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP | |
1657 | over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N. | |

1662 | help |
1663 | Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect | |
1664 | large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and | |
1665 | intended to replace SCSI. | |
1666 | ||
1667 | If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel | |
1668 | adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your | |
1669 | adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and | |
1670 | "SCSI generic support". | |
