bool "Wan interfaces support"
---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, a relatively inexpensive WAN interface card can
allow your Linux box to directly connect to a WAN. If you have one
of those cards and wish to use it under Linux, say Y here and also
to the WAN driver for your card, below.
If unsure, say N.

character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
network device.
To actually use the COSA or SRP board, you will need user-space
utilities for downloading the firmware to the cards and to set them
up. Look at the for more
