+Cyclades-PC300 support
+CONFIG_PC300
+  This is a driver for the Cyclades-PC300 synchronous communication
+  boards. These boards provide synchronous serial interfaces to your

+  (currently synchronous PPP, Cisco HDLC and Frame Relay) are available
+  by default. If you wish to support other protocols, please select one
+  of the available options below this one.
