+         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.
