        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 .

          Read  for more

          information.

          To compile WAN routing support as a module, choose M here: the

          module will be called wanrouter.

          If unsure, say N.
