+ depends on IPX!=n || INET
+ help
+ NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
+ used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers. It is to
+ IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you
+ to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
+ any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file
+ <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
+ the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a
+ file *server* for Novell NetWare clients.
+
+ General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
+ Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.
+
+ To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+ ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network.
