11 any other computer at all.

14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

393 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
394 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
395 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
396 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
397 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
398 provided by your regular phone modem.
399
400 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
401 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
Jakub Kicinskib255e502018-12-03 17:43:28 -0800402 <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/sb1000.txt> for
403 information on how to use this module, as it needs special ppp
404 scripts for establishing a connection. Further documentation

461
462 The backend driver presents a standard network device
463 endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
464 domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
465 etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
