into the ST_STOPPED state.
o Allow an optional ccp|lcp argument to `down'. The default is
still lcp (as before). You can now call down with no context
in multilink mode, in which case it'll down the multilink ccp
or the entire bundle (*very* rude).
o Allow an optional `!' after `close ccp' (close ccp!) to tell
ccp to stay in the CLOSED state after the terminate ACK. The
default is now to re-enter STOPPED so that the peer can bring
the layer back up if desired.
o Always handle proto-compressed packets, even if we've agreed
(in LCP) that the peer will not send us 1 byte protocols.
If the peer violates the LCP agreement, log it to the HDLC
log.
o Fix some comments.
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
same although the Makefiles vary due to the nature of each system.
If and when it's ported to another OS, things will probably be shuffled
around so that there are several Makefiles, one per architecture.
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
FreeBSD is frequently generated and made available on
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. Once the first OpenBSD release is made
with ppp, an up-to-date OpenBSD archive will be made available too.
A FAQ is available at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html. It applies
equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD. The man page is quite extensive,
and there are lots of examples in /etc/ppp/ppp.*.sample. These examples
come with the hacked archive above but must be installed manually.
Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list.
