+        tristate "DECnet Support"
+        ---help---
+          The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
+          Digital (now Compaq).  It provides reliable stream and sequenced
+          packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
+          to those which run over TCP/IP.
+
+          To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
+          look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
+          <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
+
+          More detailed documentation is available in
+          <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>.
+
+          Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
+          below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
+          in configuration at run time.
+
+          The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+          inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+          The module is called decnet.
