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 except that OpenBSD is missing some files (the OpenBSD project
does not want libalias - not as a library anyway) and 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. An up-to-date OpenBSD archive will also be
made available soon.
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 with
``make etc-install''.
Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list.
