You will find the current version of the daemon on +sunsite.unc.edu in the /pub/Linux/system/Network/serial directory. + +Sunsite has many mirror sites. Please feel free to obtain it from +a mirror site close to you. + +If you attempt to use a version of pppd which is not compatible +then you will have some error condition. It usually is reflected +in that an ioctl operation will generate a fatal error. + +Please do not use earlier versions of the 2.2 package. If you +obtained a copy from merit.edu or bellatrix then please get an +update from the sunsite site. + +The CCP (Compression Control Protocol) which is supported by this +code is functional. You will need a compatible BSD compressor on +your peer site to use the code. + +The BSD compression code will only build as a loadable module. There +was an earlier version which would build it into the kernel but that +functionality has been removed for various reasons. + +-- +Al Longyear longyear@netcom.com |
