AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
|
|
on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you
|
|
wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package
|
|
so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as
|
|
well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out
|
|
<http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details.
|
|
EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the
|
|
cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple
|
|
network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully
|
|
supported by Linux.
|
|
|
|
General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
|
|
Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The
|
|
NET3-4-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
|
|
information as well.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
|
|
called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a
|
|
module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting
|
|
your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so
|
|
even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here.
