+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+WANPIPE(tm) is a family of intelligent muliprotocol WAN communication adapters
+for personal computers (ISA bus) designed to provide PC connectivity to
+various communication links, such as leased lines and public data networks, at
+speeds up to T1/E1 using variety of synchronous communications protocols,
+including frame relay, PPP, X.25, SDLC, etc.
+
+WANPIPE driver together with Linux WAN Router module allows you to build
+relatively inexpensive, yet high-prformance multiprotocol WAN router.  For
+more information about Linux WAN Router please read file
+Documentation/networking/wan-router.txt.  You must also obtain WAN Tools
+package to be able to use Linux WAN Router and WANPIPE driver.  The package
+is available via the Internet from Sangoma Technologies' anonymous FTP server:
+
+	ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/wantools-X.Y.Z.tgz
