 config PPP
 	tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
 	select SLHC
 	---help---
 	  PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP.  It serves
 	  the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
 	  serial) lines.  Ask your access provider if they support it, because
 	  otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
 	  days support PPP rather than SLIP.

 	  To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
 	  in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
 	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.  Make sure that you have
 	  the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
 	  The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.

 	  There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
 	  asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
 	  synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
 	  example.  If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
 	  asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
 	  the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports".  For PPP over
 	  synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
 	  synchronous PPP", below.

 	  If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
 	  you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
 	  compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
 	  here. The module will be called ppp_generic.

 if PPP

 config PPP_BSDCOMP
 	tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
 	depends on PPP
 	---help---
 	  Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
 	  the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
 	  sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
 	  (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
 	  method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
 	  it is safe to say Y here.

 	  The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
 	  above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
 	  and is patent-free.

 	  Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
 	  module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
 	  modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

 config PPP_DEFLATE
 	tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
 	depends on PPP
 	select ZLIB_INFLATE
 	select ZLIB_DEFLATE
 	---help---
 	  Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
 	  Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
 	  each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire.  The machine at the
 	  other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
 	  Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful.  Even if
 	  they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.

 config PPP_FILTER
 	bool "PPP filtering"
 	depends on PPP
 	---help---
 	  Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
 	  PPP interfaces.  This allows you to control which packets count as
 	  activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
 	  a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
 	  You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
 	  active-filter options to pppd.

 	  If unsure, say N.

 config PPP_MPPE
 	tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
 	select CRYPTO
 	select CRYPTO_SHA1
 	select CRYPTO_ARC4
 	select CRYPTO_ECB
 	---help---
 	  Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
 	  Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.

 	  See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
 	  configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.

 config PPP_MULTILINK
 	bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
 	---help---
 	  PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
 	  to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
 	  connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.

 	  This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
 	  version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.

 	  If unsure, say N.

 config PPPOATM
 	tristate "PPP over ATM"
 	depends on ATM && PPP
 	---help---
 	  Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
 	  This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
 	  which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
 	  changes its encapsulation unilaterally.

 config PPPOE
 	tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
 	---help---
 	  Support for PPP over Ethernet.

 	  This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
 	  repository at cvs.samba.org.  Alternatively, see the
 	  RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
 	  which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
 	  the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").

 config PPPOLAC
 	tristate "PPP on L2TP Access Concentrator"
 	depends on PPP && INET
 	help
 	  L2TP (RFC 2661) is a tunneling protocol widely used in virtual private
 	  networks. This driver handles L2TP data packets between a UDP socket
 	  and a PPP channel, but only permits one session per socket. Thus it is
 	  fairly simple and suited for clients.

 config PPPOPNS
         tristate "PPP on PPTP Network Server"
         depends on PPP && INET
         help
           PPTP (RFC 2637) is a tunneling protocol widely used in virtual private
           networks. This driver handles PPTP data packets between a RAW socket
           and a PPP channel. It is fairly simple and easy to use.

 config PPTP
 	tristate "PPP over IPv4 (PPTP) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && NET_IPGRE_DEMUX
 	---help---
 	  Support for PPP over IPv4.(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

 	  This driver requires pppd plugin to work in client mode or
 	  modified pptpd (poptop) to work in server mode.
 	  See http://accel-pptp.sourceforge.net/ for information how to
 	  utilize this module.

 config PPPOL2TP
 	tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 	depends on EXPERIMENTAL && L2TP && PPP
 	---help---
 	  Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
 	  used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
 	  tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.

 config PPP_ASYNC
 	tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
 	depends on PPP
 	select CRC_CCITT
 	---help---
 	  Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
 	  asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC.  If you use
 	  a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
 	  need this option.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.

 	  If unsure, say Y.

 config PPP_SYNC_TTY
 	tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
 	depends on PPP
 	---help---
 	  Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
 	  (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
 	  are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.

 	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
