Governments, banks, and other organizations tend to use it 14 to connect to each other or to form Wide Area Networks (WANs). Many 15 countries have public X.25 networks. X.25 consists of two 16 protocols: the higher level Packet Layer Protocol (PLP) (say Y here 17 if you want that) and the lower level data link layer protocol LAPB 18 (say Y to "LAPB Data Link Driver" below if you want that). 19 20 You can read more about X.25 at <https://www.sangoma.com/tutorials/x25/> and 21 <http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/X.25>. 22 Information about X.25 for Linux is contained in the files 23 <file:Documentation/networking/x25.rst> and 24 <file:Documentation/networking/x25-iface.rst>. 25 26 One connects to an X.25 network either with a dedicated network card 27 using the X.21 protocol (not yet supported by Linux) or one can do 28 X.25 over a standard telephone line using an ordinary modem (say Y 29 to "X.25 async driver" below) or over Ethernet using an ordinary 30 Ethernet card and the LAPB over Ethernet (say Y to "LAPB Data Link 31 Driver" and "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below). 32 33 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module 34 will be called x25. If unsure, say N.
