This file summarises changes made to ppp that effect

This program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>,
and was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>.
The original version was usually referred to as iij-ppp.
Ppp is currently maintained under FreeBSD and OpenBSD by Brian Somers
<brian@Awfulhak.org>. The sources for both operating systems are the
1998-09-09 22:51:49 +00:00
same except that the libalias code is built directly into ppp under
OpenBSD, and the Makefiles vary per OS.
1998-01-29 00:42:52 +00:00
The latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current.
An archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of
1998-09-09 22:51:49 +00:00
FreeBSD or OpenBSD is frequently generated and made available via
http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html.

A FAQ is available at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/ppp.html. It
applies equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD. The man page is
quite extensive, and there are lots of examples in
/usr/share/examples/ppp/.

Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list.
