29This file summarises changes made to ppp that effect
30This program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>,
31and was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>.
32The original version was usually referred to as iij-ppp.
33
34Ppp is currently maintained under FreeBSD and OpenBSD by Brian Somers
35<brian@Awfulhak.org>.  The sources for both operating systems are the
36same except that the libalias code is built directly into ppp under
37OpenBSD, and the Makefiles vary per OS.
38
39The latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current.
40An archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of
41FreeBSD or OpenBSD is frequently generated and made available via
42http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html.
43
44A FAQ is available at
45http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/ppp.html.  It
46applies equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD.  The man page is
47quite extensive, and there are lots of examples in
48/usr/share/examples/ppp/.
49
50Ppp is still under development.  There is no official TODO list.
