[Dimitrios P. Bouras]

.

  Greetings to all,

  This is to announce the release of xisp version 2.3, an X11 visual
 interface to pppd/chat, i.e. an X11 dialup networking tool. xisp is
 also a small ISP database manager and a dialup costs and connection
 logging tool. The LSM entry is included below. The distribution is in

  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu:/incoming/Linux and
  ftp://argeas.argos.hol.gr:/incoming

 right now, but it should appear in the listed locations shortly.
 To compile this latest version you need version 0.86 of xforms.
 If you want to check out the features/capabilities of xisp on the
 web, please visit http://users.hol.gr/~dbouras.


 What's new in version 2.3:

  - Phone call cost calculation and connection logging
  - New special variables "%U" and "%P" replace "%s" in script
    lines
  - Enhanced security for ip-up/ip-down via the new xispid utility
    (adapted from GNU id(1))
  - Support for .xisp-up/.xisp-down user scripts (like
    ip-up/ip-down)
  - Remote control via process signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
  - PPP interface numbers other than ppp0 (partial solution)
  - Call-back support for authenticated login methods (PAP,
    PAP-S, CHAP-S)
  - Added intelligence with regards to pppd and Linux kernel
    versions
  - Numerous bug-fixes


 For more detailed information please refer to the documentation
 files in the distribution. Send bug reports/enhancements/suggestions

 With greetings from sunny Athens, Greece,

Description:    X-ISP is an X11 and XForms based visual interface
                to pppd and chat, implementing a dialup networking
                tool. Additionally, it is also a small ISP data
                base manager and a dialup costs and connection
                logging tool. Currently it only supports PPP type
                connections. To build it you need XForms-0.86 or
                later, and if you don't have it already, libXpm
                version 3.4f or later. Information on where to get
                XForms is included in the distribution.
