Bug#115560: O: um-pppd -- User mode Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon.
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
I hereby orphan um-pppd, since I don't use it, and would like someone
more capable (hi neal :) to maintain it.
Description: User mode Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon.
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard way to transmit
datagrams over a serial link, as well as a standard way for the machines
at either end of the link (the "peers") to negotiate various optional
characteristics of the link. Using PPP, a serial link can be used to
transmit Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams, allowing TCP/IP connections
between the peers.
.
Unlike the pppd in the ppp package, this one runs entirely in user-mode.
