-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.

-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 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_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.
-
-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_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_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 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 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 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 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.
