I would like to get a copy of the PPP driver for the BSD NET2 (386BSD)
kernel.  I saw a message fly by about 2-3 weeks ago about someone working
on this.  What's the status? Is it available?  I looked at MorningStar's
ppp driver for BSD4.3, but it seems quite different then their Sun
driver: no VJ compression, no statistics.

Huh?  Our BSDI PPP daemon is built from the same sources as all the
rest, and provides the same features.  After a port is done, we don't
want to do anything more complicated with Yet Another Unix Box than to
say rdist and make.

Look on ftp.cayman.com.  I ported the PD PPP to 386BSD and made a few 
(very minor) enhancements.  It ran ok under v0.0 (but, the com drivers
have problems). I just got v0.1 up but have not installed PPP yet. 
It should work fine, however.

Also note that Morningstar has a supported version for BSDI's BSD/386.
We use there sparc versions (and like them a lot).
