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

 418           Driver for a pseudo device (typically called /dev/lapb0) which allows
 419           you to open an LAPB point-to-point connection to some other computer
 420           on your Ethernet network.

 422           In order to do this, you need to say Y or M to the driver for your
 423           Ethernet card as well as to "LAPB Data Link Driver".

 467           If you have two computers connected with two parallel lines it's
 468           possible to increase transfer rate nearly twice. You should have
 469           a program named 'sbniconfig' to configure adapters.
