EQL is Linux. Extract from Configuration.help:
EQL (serial line load balancing) support
CONFIG_EQUALIZER
If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
SLIP (= the protocol for sending internet traffic over telephone
lines) or PPP (= a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave
like one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this
has to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar
EQL Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e. Say Y if you
want this and read drivers/net/README.eql. This driver is also
available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed
from the running kernel whenever you want). If you want to compile
it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
Bye,
