If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you 11 wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package 12 so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as 13 well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out 14 <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details. 15 EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the 16 cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple 17 network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully 18 supported by Linux. 19 20 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and 21 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The 22 NET3-4-HOWTO, available from 23 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable 24 information as well. 25 26 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be 27 called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a 28 module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting 29 your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so 30 even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here. 31
