README for User Process PPP
For Version 0.93 package
Oct. 15th 1994

INTRODUCTION
This is user process PPP software package. Normally, PPP is implemented
as a part of kernel and hard to debug and/or modify its behavior.
However, in this implementation, PPP is implemented as a user process
with the help of tunnel device driver.
Major Features
o Runs under BSDI-1.1 and FreeBSD-1.1. Patch for NeXTSTEP 3.2 is also
available on the net.
o Provide interactive user interface. Using its command mode, user can
easily enter commands to establish the connection with the peer, check
the status of connection, and close the connection.
o Supports both of manual and automatic dialing. Interactive mode has
``term'' command which enables you to talk to your modem directory.
When your modem is connected to the peer, and it starts to speak PPP,
PPP software detects it and turns into packet mode automatically.
Once you have convinced how to connect with the peer, you can write
chat script to define necessary dialing and login procedure for later
convenience.
o Supports on-demand dialup capability. By using auto mode, PPP program
will act as a daemon and wait for the packet send to the peer.
Once packet is found, daemon automatically dials and establish the
connection.
o Supports idle timer capability. If no packet activity is found certain
amount of time, PPP automatically close the connection to save connection
fee. Line monitoring function is available, too. PPP can automatically
checks whether if peer is alive (by sending LQR or LCP echo), and if there
is no response from the peer, PPP determines that peer has dead and close
the connection.
o Can act as server which accept incoming PPP connection.
o Supports PAP and CHAP authentification.
o Supports packet filtering. User can define three kinds of filters;
ifilter for incoming packet, ofilter for outgoing packet and dfilter
to define dialing trigger packet.
o Tunnel driver supports bpf. That is, user can use tcpdump to check
packet flow over the PPP link.
o Supports PPP over TCP capability.
o Supports IETF draft Predictor-1 compression.
