  10         ---help---
  11           Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
  12           lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
  13           distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
  14           achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
  15
  16           Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
  17           needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
  18           inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly
  19           connect to a WAN.
  20
  21           If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux,
  22           say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card.
  23
  24           If unsure, say N.

  46           base-band modems, or any other device with the X.21, V.24, V.35 or
  47           V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the
  48           character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
  49           network device.
  50
  51           You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading
  52           the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the
  53           <http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/cosa/> for more information. You can also
  54           read the comment at the top of the <file:drivers/net/wan/cosa.c> for
  55           details about the cards and the driver itself.

  90           As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
  91           pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
  92           the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
  93           (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
  94           cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.

 407           Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
 408           kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
 409           the questions about WAN router drivers.

 505           adapter can support up to four independent PPP links. The PPP
 506           option is supported on S514-PCI/S508-ISA cards.

 521           to make it compile with the current wanrouter include files; efforts
