config WAN
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.
If unsure, say N.

---help---
Driver for COSA and SRP synchronous serial boards.
These boards allow to connect synchronous serial devices (for example
base-band modems, or any other device with the X.21, V.24, V.35 or
V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the
character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
network device.
You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading
the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the
for more information. You can also
read the comment at the top of the for
details about the cards and the driver itself.
The driver will be compiled as a module: the

8Mb/s (128K on V.24) using synchronous PPP, Cisco HDLC, raw HDLC,
Frame Relay or X.25/LAPB.
If you want the module to be automatically loaded when the interface
