I am also interested in seeing FreeBSD's user-level ppp(8) ported to the Hurd. I didn't start working on it yet, but given support from other people, it could be possible to do it together. The biggest problem I see here, is that it will be probably necessary to interface to pfinet which is currently in a somewhat shaky state (please correct me, if I'm wrong). The current pfinet is indeed in a somewhat shaky state. It seems that threads waiting for packets to arrive, aren't woken up when they do. Perhaps that condition isn't signalled properly. This just begs for someone with a little patience to grab the debugger and see what's happening. Mark
