(Disclaimer: I have never actually run or used pptpclient.) Are you certain that pptpclient even works with pppd under FreeBSD? If it doesn't, and if it would require a lot of rewriting/patching to work, then it would be likely done better by the authors themselves, not as a FreeBSD port patch. Besides - are you really sure that 'many people prefer kernel-ppp'? Almost every FreeBSD user *I* know about is perfectly happy with the userland PPP implementation, which has many features, is constantly developed, and is *very* well integrated with the overall FreeBSD-way of doing things. Great job, Brian! G'luck, Peter -- What would this sentence be like if pi were 3? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
