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.
