new ppp package
[Please Cc me, I'm not subscribe to either list.]
[A copy of this message is sent to the debian-user-french mailing list
as I know that there are many ADSL users there. If you need to reply
feel free to write in French, I understand it.]
Two new ppp packages have been installed today in unstable and
experimental. They both contain new features, and the experimental
package contains the much requested PPP over ATM and MPPE support.
I urge users to test these packages and report bugs.
BTW, I'm interested in sponsoring drivers for ADSL modems and even an
adslpppconf package...
