The sources for both operating systems are the +same although the Makefiles vary due to the nature of each system. +If and when it's ported to another OS, things will probably be shuffled +around so that there are several Makefiles, one per architecture. + +The latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current. +An archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of +FreeBSD is frequently generated and made available on +http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. Once the first OpenBSD release is made +with ppp, an up-to-date OpenBSD archive will be made available too. + +A FAQ is available at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html. It applies +equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD. The man page is quite extensive, +and there are lots of examples in /etc/ppp/ppp.*.sample. These examples +come with the hacked archive above but must be installed manually. + +Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list. |
