29 This file summarises changes made to ppp that effect
30 This program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>,
31 and was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>.
32 The original version was usually referred to as iij-ppp.
34 Ppp is currently maintained under FreeBSD and OpenBSD by Brian Somers
35 <brian@Awfulhak.org>. The sources for both operating systems are the
36 same except that the libalias code is built directly into ppp under
37 OpenBSD, and the Makefiles vary per OS.
39 The latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current.
40 An archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of
41 FreeBSD or OpenBSD is frequently generated and made available via
42 http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html.
45 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/ppp.html. It
46 applies equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD. The man page is
47 quite extensive, and there are lots of examples in
48 /usr/share/examples/ppp/.
50 Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list.
