Governments, banks, and other organizations tend to use it + to connect to each other or to form Wide Area Networks (WANs). Many + countries have public X.25 networks. X.25 consists of two + protocols: the higher level Packet Layer Protocol (PLP) (say Y here + if you want that) and the lower level data link layer protocol LAPB + (say Y to "LAPB Data Link Driver" below if you want that). + + You can read more about X.25 at <https://www.sangoma.com/tutorials/x25/> and + <http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/X.25>. + Information about X.25 for Linux is contained in the files + <file:Documentation/networking/x25.rst> and + <file:Documentation/networking/x25-iface.rst>. + + One connects to an X.25 network either with a dedicated network card + using the X.21 protocol (not yet supported by Linux) or one can do + X.25 over a standard telephone line using an ordinary modem (say Y + to "X.25 async driver" below) or over Ethernet using an ordinary + Ethernet card and the LAPB over Ethernet (say Y to "LAPB Data Link + Driver" and "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below). + + To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module + will be called x25. If unsure, say N. |
