Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

8config WAN
9 bool "Wan interfaces support"
10 ---help---
11 Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
12 lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
13 distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
14 achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
15
16 Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
17 needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
18 inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly
19 connect to a WAN.
20
21 If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux,
22 say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card.
23
24 If unsure, say N.

42 ---help---
43 Driver for COSA and SRP synchronous serial boards.
44
45 These boards allow to connect synchronous serial devices (for example
46 base-band modems, or any other device with the X.21, V.24, V.35 or
47 V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the
48 character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
49 network device.
50
51 You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading
52 the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the
53 <http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/cosa/> for more information. You can also
54 read the comment at the top of the <file:drivers/net/wan/cosa.c> for

78 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
79 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
80 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
81 code for these operations.

88 help
89 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
90 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
91 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
92 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
93 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
94 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.

555 In order to do this, you need to say Y or M to the driver for your
556 Ethernet card as well as to "LAPB Data Link Driver".
557
558 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
559 module will be called lapbether.
560
561 If unsure, say N.

570 Experts should note that this driver doesn't currently comply with
571 the asynchronous HDLS framing protocols in CCITT recommendation X.25.

585 You can find more information and last versions of drivers and
586 utilities at <http://www.granch.ru/>. If you have any question you
587 can send email to <sbni@granch.ru>.

598 Schedule traffic for some parallel lines, via SBNI12 adapters.
599
600 If you have two computers connected with two parallel lines it's
601 possible to increase transfer rate nearly twice. You should have
602 a program named 'sbniconfig' to configure adapters.
