3086d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThis program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>,
3186d7f5d3SJohn Marinoand was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>.

3486d7f5d3SJohn MarinoPpp is currently maintained under FreeBSD and OpenBSD by Brian Somers
3586d7f5d3SJohn Marino<brian@Awfulhak.org>.  The sources for both operating systems are the
3686d7f5d3SJohn Marinosame except that the libalias code is built directly into ppp under
3786d7f5d3SJohn MarinoOpenBSD, and the Makefiles vary per OS.
3886d7f5d3SJohn Marino
3986d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current.
4086d7f5d3SJohn MarinoAn archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of
4186d7f5d3SJohn MarinoFreeBSD or OpenBSD is frequently generated and made available via

4686d7f5d3SJohn Marinoapplies equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD.  The man page is
4786d7f5d3SJohn Marinoquite extensive, and there are lots of examples in
