Hello, no, I've not talked to him so far, but it's really good to hear that. I'm going to contact him right now.
The primary reason why I created this package is because my main package ’l2tp-ipsec-vpn-0.9.2’ depends on a PPPD that is capable of handling EAP_TLS authentication.

Hello, as far as I know Jan Just Keijser is already talking with upstream ppp to integrate his patch into mainline, have you talked with him prior to filing this ITP?
