|  | 8 | AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate | 
|  | 9 | on a network.  If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you | 
|  | 10 | wish to connect to it, say Y.  You will need to use the netatalk package | 
|  | 11 | so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as | 
|  | 12 | well as access AppleTalk printers.  Check out | 
|  | 13 | <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details. | 
|  | 14 | EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the | 
|  | 15 | cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple | 
|  | 16 | network using serial links.  EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully | 
|  | 17 | supported by Linux. |

|  | 20 | Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.  The |

|  | 25 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be | 
|  | 26 | called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a | 
|  | 27 | module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting | 
|  | 28 | your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so | 
|  | 29 | even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here. |

|  | 82 | This allows IP networking for users who only have AppleTalk | 
|  | 83 | networking available. This feature is experimental. With this | 
|  | 84 | driver, you can encapsulate IP inside AppleTalk (e.g. if your Linux | 
|  | 85 | box is stuck on an AppleTalk only network) or decapsulate (e.g. if | 
|  | 86 | you want your Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for a zoo of | 
|  | 87 | AppleTalk connected Macs). Please see the file | 
|  | 88 | <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information. |

|  | 90 | If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP support will be compiled into | 
|  | 91 | the kernel. In this case, you can either use encapsulation or | 
|  | 92 | decapsulation, but not both. With the following two questions, you | 
|  | 93 | decide which one you want. |

|  | 95 | To compile the AppleTalk-IP support as a module, choose M here: the |

|  | 98 | decapsulation simultaneously, by loading two copies of the module | 
|  | 99 | and specifying different values for the module option ipddp_mode. |
