Patch for PPP kernel driver available at
ftp://ftp.east.telecom.kz/pub/src/networking/ppp/multilink/ppp-2.3.8-1.diff.gz

It's still required more integration with kernel sources (diff for
linux/drivers/net/Config.in placed in linux/ directory in ppp's source
tree and must be applied by hand).

PPPD still in progress, so you can use it from latest
ftp://ftp.east.telecom.kz/pub/src/networking/ppp/multilink/ppp-2.3.5-mp.tgz

MP kernel code for 2.3.5 is not developed more. It's based on ugly
INS-COIN's patch which does many changes in base sources of kernel's ppp
driver, so I don't have time to find any bugs appeared with this Michael's
patch.

All changes for PPPD (Multilinking, Microsoft encryption - MPPE, callback
enhancements) which was made for 2.3.5 will be moved to 2.3.8 as soon as
possible. Changes in pppd/sys-*.c for multilinking is done for Linux only.
On other platforms it will have one undefined function, but MPPE must be
working anywhere.

Who can explain to me US's export restrictions for cryptography and can I
provide publicly some modules from SSLeay/OpenSSL (Such as SHA1/SHS and
RC4) if my changes will be incorporated to the standard PPP?


WBR,
Paul.
