+	---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.
