+This directory contains a port of ppp-2.3.11. The official site for
+the original source for this PPP implementation is:
+
+ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp
+
+================================================================
+History
+
+The original port was of 2.3.5 by Tomasz Domin <dot@comarch.pl> of
+ComArch SA and was initially only tested on the mpc823. He
+provided the modem driver as well.
+
+The port was updated to 2.3.11 by Mike Siers <mikes@poliac.com>
+who added an example test.
+
+Updated the chat program to return the correct errors and support
+the ABORT commands. Removed some dead code and did a lot of
+testing on a new Coldfire BSP. Version seems to be very stable.
+
+Update code to use RTEMS pppd network drivers. Now the pppd
+software is not dependent on using task driven mode. This
+change improved stablity and performance. This was updated
+by Mike Siers <mikes@poliac.com>.
