+This is a port of the "pptp-linux" PPTP client. It can establish a
+PPP connection with an NT server, tunneled through a PPTP link over
+the Internet. In effect, it makes the client machine behave as if
+it were on the same LAN as the server.
+
+I have fixed one serious bug in the program, and have patched it to
+use FreeBSD's userland "ppp" package rather than "pppd" which it
+was originally designed to use. I found that "ppp" supplied more
+versatility and was easier to set up.
+
+There is no manpage for this package, but you will find some
+quickstart instructions and example configuration files in
+"${PREFIX}/share/examples/pptpclient".
