-If you would like to be on a mailing list concerning the ppp package,

-Note for users of the ppp-2.1.2 package: I have included a fix
-for the non-STREAMS tty drivers in this release. If you were using
-version 2.1.2 with a hardware serial port, then you probably used the
-"rlogin-kludge" that I described in the README that came with 2.1.2.
-You don't need this any more, and will have a more efficient connection
