Julian, as I recall you were one of the original employees of 
Whistle Communications, correct? Perhaps you can explain this: Why 
does mpd require all of those link configurations? Was mpd 
originally intended to be used as a client only? I'm struggling 
here because I can't find a PPP/PPTP implementation that's 
completely BSD licensed and really designed to be a large scale server.
