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

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

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

196 | [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit | |
197 | Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links). | |

2772 | PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a | |
2773 | reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) | |
2774 | local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to | |
2775 | install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a | |
2776 | CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies | |
2777 | first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option | |
2778 | enabled for this to work. | |
2779 | ||
2780 | The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel | |
2781 | ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected | |
2782 | with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 | |
2783 | bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on | |
2784 | bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a | |
2785 | time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in | |
2786 | <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to | |
2787 | 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows | |
2788 | and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet | |
2789 | driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) | |

2795 | protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together | |

2807 | PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves | |

2810 | otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these | |
2811 | days support PPP rather than SLIP. | |

2816 | the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>. | |

2837 | PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you | |
2838 | to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP | |
2839 | connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth. | |
2840 | ||
2841 | This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a | |
2842 | version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol. | |

2909 | The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression", | |

2974 | nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same | |
2975 | purpose. | |
