| AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate | |
| on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you | |
| wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package | |
| so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as | |
| well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out | |
| <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details. | |
| EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the | |
| cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple | |
| network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully | |
| supported by Linux. | |
| General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and | |
| Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The | |
| NET3-4-HOWTO, available from | |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable | |
| information as well. | |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be | |
| called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a | |
| module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting | |
| your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so | |
| even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here. |
