==============================================================================

This package implements ppp and slip comunications in both 16 and 32 bit
systems. It allows you to connect Minix to ISPs or between 2 Minix machines
connected to the serial ports. There are several examples about how to make
the conections.

The drivers are user mode programs so it is no necesary to make special
modifications into the kernel. Please read the documentation files at all
to understand how you can add the drivers to your system. For small memory
systems like XT machines, please read carefully the README.XT file in the XT
directory, for special considerations.

This version work in Minix version 2.0.2, so it use the new pseudo IP device.
If you are using previous Minix version, you need to use the previous
PPP package. Also, previous PPP version should not work in Minix 2.0.2, or
can have problems if you try to add them.

The programs and scripts are free software. Check the README file.
