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
55	  details about the cards and the driver itself.
