MANY THANKS to Vernier Networks, Inc. for agreeing to open source this code. This is a netgraph based PPP library. The bad news is that this code is a library, not a server, so you can't use it as an L2TP server yet. However, it is written to do everything except for the "policy decisions" (i.e., all of the hard work) and there is a simple proof-of-concept test L2TP server program for one remote client that can serve as sample code. The next step (if folks are interested) is to use this code as the basis for writing a working L2TP server. Hopefully others will be able to contribute since I'm too busy to do it all myself. If you're interested in this project, please join the MPD mailing list (mpd-users@lists.sourceforge.net) where we can continue discussion.
