Note: unlike earlier releases, this package supports the PPP protocol only.
For SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) see the separate slip-nnn.txt and

                PPP-1.5.2 - PPP driver for Minix 2.0.2 / 2.0.3
 
==============================================================================

This package implements ppp protocol in both 16 and 32 bit systems. It allows 
you to connect Minix to ISPs or to other machines connected to via the serial 
ports.

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 ONLY works in Minix version 2.0.2 and 2.0.3. It does not work
in previous Minix versions.

The driver also can be used under Minix-VMD 1.7.0.

The directories have the following:

chat: program that lets you to have automatic login scripts to ISPs.
      check the man pages and examples.

modem: some examples I use to connect to a BBS with menu using chat.

XT : examples of my configuration files where I tested the 16 bit code.
     usefull if you have very low memory, or XT machines.

src: source files for ppp driver client and server

doc: documents files.

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

If you have questions, suggestions, and ideas, please let me know.
