  51. Yes: I have integrated the ucdavis PPP in some rather old version of            
  52. AmigaNOS (KA9Q).                                                                
  53.                                                                                 
  54. The source code and a binary compiled with Manx Aztec C is available for        
  55. anonymous ftp on FTP.CAM.ORG (132.207.24.8) /pub/amiga/AmigaNOS-with-ppp.lzh    
  56.                                                                                 
  57. There is no documentation on the ppp end (other than my net-startup file and    
  58. the source code)  and some hacking will probably be required to make it work.   
  59. It has only been tested with SunOS streams PPP by Brad Clements and Karl Fox.   
  60. (with the "old" switch)                                                         
  61.                                                                                 
  62. feel free to email me if you encounter serious problems and I'll try my best
