-This is the README file for ppp-2.4, a package which implements the
-Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to provide Internet connections over
-serial lines.
-
-
-Introduction.
-*************
-
-The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard way to establish
-a network connection over a serial link.  At present, this package
-supports IP and the protocols layered above IP, such as TCP and UDP.
-The Linux and Solaris ports of this package have optional support for
-IPV6; the Linux port of this package also has support for IPX.
-
-This software consists of two parts:
-
-- Kernel code, which establishes a network interface and passes
-packets between the serial port, the kernel networking code and the
-PPP daemon (pppd).  This code is implemented using STREAMS modules on
-SunOS 4.x and Solaris, and as a line discipline under Linux and FreeBSD.
-
-- The PPP daemon (pppd), which negotiates with the peer to establish
-the link and sets up the ppp network interface.  Pppd includes support
-for authentication, so you can control which other systems may make a
-PPP connection and what IP addresses they may use.
-
-The primary platforms supported by this package are Linux and Solaris.
-Code for SunOS 4.x is included here but is largely untested.  I have
-code for NeXTStep, FreeBSD, SVR4, Tru64 (Digital Unix), AIX and Ultrix
-but no active maintainers for these platforms.  Code for all of these
-except AIX is included in the ppp-2.3.11 release.
-
-
-Installation.
-*************
-
-The file SETUP contains general information about setting up your
-system for using PPP.  There is also a README file for each supported
-system, which contains more specific details for installing PPP on
-that system.  The supported systems, and the corresponding README
-files, are:
-
-	Linux				README.linux
-	Solaris 2			README.sol2
-	SunOS 4.x			README.sunos4
-
-In each case you start by running the ./configure script.  This works
-out which operating system you are using and creates symbolic links to
-the appropriate makefiles.  You then run `make' to compile the
-user-level code, and (as root) `make install' to install the
-user-level programs pppd, chat and pppstats.
-
-N.B. Since 2.3.0, leaving the permitted IP addresses column of the
-pap-secrets or chap-secrets file empty means that no addresses are
-permitted.  You need to put a "*" in that column to allow the peer to
-use any IP address.  (This only applies where the peer is
-authenticating itself to you, of course.)
-
-
-What's new in ppp-2.4.1.
-************************
-
-* Pppd can now print out the set of options that are in effect.  The
-  new `dump' option causes pppd to print out the option values after
-  option parsing is complete.  The `dryrun' option causes pppd to
-  print the options and then exit.
-
-* The option parsing code has been fixed so that options in the
-  per-tty options file are parsed correctly, and don't override values
-  from the command line in most cases.
-
-* The plugin option now looks in /usr/lib/pppd/<pppd-version> (for
-  example, /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1b1) for shared objects for plugins if
-  there is no slash in the plugin name.
-
-* When loading a plugin, pppd will now check the version of pppd for
-  which the plugin was compiled, and refuse to load it if it is
-  different to pppd's version string.  To enable this, the plugin
-  source needs to #include "pppd.h" and have a line saying:
-	char pppd_version[] = VERSION;
-
-* There is a bug in zlib, discovered by James Carlson, which can cause
-  kernel memory corruption if Deflate is used with the lowest setting,
-  8.  As a workaround pppd will now insist on using at least 9.
-
-* Pppd should compile on Solaris and SunOS again.
-
-* Pppd should now set the MTU correctly on demand-dialled interfaces.
-
-
-What was new in ppp-2.4.0.
-**************************
-
-* Multilink: this package now allows you to combine multiple serial
-  links into one logical link or `bundle', for increased bandwidth and
-  reduced latency.  This is currently only supported under the
-  Linux-2.3.99pre5 or later kernels.
-
-* All the pppd processes running on a system now write information
-  into a common database.  I used the `tdb' code from samba for this.
-
-* New hooks have been added.
-
-For a list of the changes made during the 2.3 series releases of this
-package, see the Changes-2.3 file.

-
-Compression methods.
-********************
-
-This package supports two packet compression methods: Deflate and
-BSD-Compress.  Other compression methods which are in common use
-include Predictor, LZS, and MPPC.  These methods are not supported for
-two reasons - they are patent-encumbered, and they cause some packets
-to expand slightly, which pppd doesn't currently allow for.
-BSD-Compress is also patent-encumbered (its inclusion in this package
-can be considered a historical anomaly :-) but it doesn't ever expand
-packets.  Neither does Deflate, which uses the same algorithm as gzip.
-
-
-Patents.
-********
-
-The BSD-Compress algorithm used for packet compression is the same as
-that used in the Unix "compress" command.  It is apparently covered by
-U.S. patents 4,814,746 (owned by IBM) and 4,558,302 (owned by Unisys),
-and corresponding patents in various other countries (but not
-Australia).  If this is of concern, you can build the package without
-including BSD-Compress.  To do this, edit net/ppp-comp.h to change the
-definition of DO_BSD_COMPRESS to 0.  The bsd-comp.c files are then no
-longer needed, so the references to bsd-comp.o may optionally be
-removed from the Makefiles.
-
-
-Contacts.
-*********
-
-The comp.protocols.ppp newsgroup is a useful place to get help if you
-have trouble getting your ppp connections to work.  Please do not send
-me questions of the form "please help me get connected to my ISP" -
-I'm sorry, but I simply do not have the time to answer all the
-questions like this that I get.
-
-If you find bugs in this package, please report them to the maintainer
-for the port for the operating system you are using:

-Linux			Paul Mackerras <paulus@linuxcare.com>
-Solaris 2		James Carlson <james.d.carlson@east.sun.com>
-SunOS 4.x		Adi Masputra <adi.masputra@sun.com>
