+ tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
+ depends on PARPORT
+ help
+ PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
+ reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
+ local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
+ install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
+ CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
+ first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
+ enabled for this to work.
+
+ The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
+ ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
+ with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
+ bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
+ bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
+ time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
+ <file:Documentation/networking/plip.rst>. The cables can be up to
+ 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
+ and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
+ driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
+ and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
+
+ If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
+ as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
+ protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
+ with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
+ your kernel by about 8 KB.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+ will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
+ a laptop later.
