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