- tristate "WAN router"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- ---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, WAN routing can be built into the Linux kernel.
- With relatively inexpensive WAN interface cards available on the
- market, a perfectly usable router can be built for less than half
- the price of an external router. If you have one of those cards and
- wish to use your Linux box as a WAN router, say Y here and also to
- the WAN driver for your card, below. You will then need the
- wan-tools package which is available from <ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/>.
- To compile WAN routing support as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called wanrouter.
- If unsure, say N.
