+This is the user process PPP package as found in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
+Normally, PPP is implemented as a part of the kernel (e.g., as managed by
+pppd(8)) and it's thus somewhat hard to debug and/or modify its behaviour.
+However, in this implementation PPP is done as a user process with the help
+of the tunnel device driver (tun).
