+        depends on PARPORT
+        ---help---
+          PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
+          reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
+          local machines.  A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
+          install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
+          CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
+          first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
+          enabled for this to work.
+
+          The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1.  The parallel
+          ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
+          with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
+          bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
+          bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
+          time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
+          <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>.  The cables can be up to
+          15m long.  Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
+          and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
+          driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
+          and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
+
+          If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
+          as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
+          <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.  Note that the PLIP
+          protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
+          with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x.  This option enlarges
+          your kernel by about 8 KB.
+
+          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+          will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
+          a laptop later.
