This sources can be useful not only to Windows owners, but to those FreeBSD'ers who uses pppctl often, because I've patched original pppctl to use GNU Readline library instead of BSD Editline and I found that Readline is in fact better for command line editing purposes. It should compile without a problem on FreeBSD - all Win32 dependent stuff made with #ifdef. > I agree that these sort of facilitators are helpful with deploying > FreeBSD but wonder what this one achieves that couldn't be done with a > simpler sockets program perhaps wrapped in a GUI?š That could be > implemented easily in Tcl/Tk on Win32.

Yes it should be useful (as far as I know Cygwin toolchain supports cross-compiling and it is open-source), however it's too involved for me to make such port. My goal was far more simpler - I ported application, which I think may be useful not only for me but to all FreeBSD community. > Some developers might even be able to rid themselves of M$ development seats > entirely.
