---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The PPP support for this kernel requires the 2.2.0 version of the
-pppd daemon. You will find the current version of the daemon on
-sunsite.unc.edu in the /pub/Linux/system/Network/serial directory.
-
-Sunsite has many mirror sites. Please feel free to obtain it from
-a mirror site close to you.
-
-If you attempt to use a version of pppd which is not compatible
-then you will have some error condition. It usually is reflected
-in that an ioctl operation will generate a fatal error.
-
-Please do not use earlier versions of the 2.2 package. If you
-obtained a copy from merit.edu or bellatrix then please get an
-update from the sunsite site.
-
-The CCP (Compression Control Protocol) which is supported by this
-code is functional. You will need a compatible BSD compressor on
-your peer site to use the code.
-
-The BSD compression code will only build as a loadable module. There
-was an earlier version which would build it into the kernel but that
-functionality has been removed for various reasons.
