9	  AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
10	  on a network.  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.

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.

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.
