| ---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. | |

| V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the | |
| character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC | |
| network device. | |
| You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading | |
| the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the | |
| <http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/cosa/> for more information. You can also | |
