+ ---help---
+ 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
+ NET-3-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.
