Original version was written by Serge Vakulenko ( vak@cronyx.ru
<mailto:vak@cronyx.ru> ), and we together keep on
development and fixing current version. (we have numerous fixes in PPP
and CISCO code and
we could offer new Frame Relay code).

We might synchronize our efforts somehow, but I am not strong in
NetBSD... :(
I plan to make set of patches, but I it would be easy for me to make a
new one only after
previous, cause some of them could depend one from another.

I thought all FreeBSD developers have access to FreeBSD tree?
