11 any other computer at all.

13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

62 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
63 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your

255 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
256 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
257 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
258 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
259 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
260 provided by your regular phone modem.

263 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
264 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
265 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
266 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
