Yes there is. There's a pppd plugin which comes with the openl2tp project, http://sf.net/projects/openl2tp. OpenL2TP supports both LAC and LNS operation. A patch is also available to allow this driver to be used with another L2TP implementation, l2tpd. >> I have a patch which could be submitted for review.

Yes. :) The plan is to submit the pppol2tp plugin for pppd for inclusion in the pppd distro after the kernel driver is integrated. > Yes, please check your patch using the nice checklist in > Documentation/SubmitChecklist and do it in suitable chunks > according to Documentation/SubmittingPatches Will do. -- James Chapman Katalix Systems Ltd http://www.katalix.com Catalysts for your Embedded Linux software development
