The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4). These devices are still produced and can be purchased at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>. Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However, their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears a new customer for their devices. These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node. Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC. Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4) instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do. Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal. While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so ce(4) remains i386-only.

The /rescue build system here has three goals: 1) Produce a reliable standalone set of /rescue tools. The contents of /rescue are all statically linked and do not depend on anything in /bin or /sbin. In particular, they'll continue to function even if you've hosed your dynamic /bin and /sbin. For example, note that /rescue/mount runs /rescue/mount_nfs and not /sbin/mount_nfs. This is more subtle than it looks. As an added bonus, /rescue is fairly small (thanks to crunchgen) and includes a number of tools (such as gzip, bzip2, vi) that are not normally found in /bin and /sbin. 2) Demonstrate robust use of crunchgen. These Makefiles recompile each of the crunchgen components and include support for overriding specific library entries. Such techniques should be useful elsewhere. 3) Produce a toolkit suitable for small distributions. Install /rescue on a CD or CompactFlash disk, and symlink /bin and /sbin to /rescue to produce a small and fairly complete FreeBSD system. These tools have one big disadvantage: being statically linked, they cannot use some advanced library functions that rely on dynamic linking. In particular, nsswitch, locales, and pam all rely on dynamic linking. To compile: # cd /usr/src/rescue # make obj # make # make install Note that rebuilds don't always work correctly; if you run into trouble, try 'make clean' before recompiling. $FreeBSD$
