They are somewhat similar, since L2TP evovled from PPTP (and L2F). However, I believe they are sufficiently different that it would take a fair amount of work to write a L2TP server from a PPTP server. I haven't read the L2TP spec in detail yet though. The way mpd works right now, it treats PPTP as just another physical layer type, like modem or netgraph node. So perhaps L2TP could be implemented in the same fashion.. ? I think ppp(8) has a similar device abstraction layer too. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
