That's why you gotta bother with a one-year old package that doesn't fit quite into FreeBSD-current. Once the legally questionable files are rewritten (which is driven by a large overhaul of the lower layers anyway, most work done by Hellmuth Michaelis), we can think about integrating it into the FreeBSD tree. The PPP stuff also needs quite some work. It seems we decided inside the BISDN developers list that it would be useful to maintain two different versions of PPP, both targeted to different people. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
