PoPToP - the free PPTP solution for Linux
================================

Moreton Bay has just announced prerelease of PoPToP, the PPTP server
solution for Linux. To date no real solution has existed if you wished to
include Linux servers in PPTP established VPNs. PoPToP resolves that problem
by allowing Linux servers to function seamlessly in the PPTP VPN
environment. This enables administrators to leverage the considerable
benefits of both Microsoft and Linux. The current prerelease version
supports both Windows NT PPTP clients PPTP Linux clients. Future releases
will support Windows 98 and Win2000 PPTP clients.

PoPToP is, and will remain, totally free under the GNU General Public
License.

The PoPToP prerelease server has been released early so as to encourage
other developers to become involved in its development. On release, PoPToP
will be compliant with IETF PPTP Internet Draft and it will seamlessly
support all Windows PPTP clients with the full range of encryption and
authentication features.

Where can you get PoPToP?
===========================
The PoPToP server is free software, licensed under the terms of the GPL. The
latest version of the Linux PoPToP Server is 0.7.37 and the source code can
be downloaded from our web page: http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/pptp.html
