-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
