Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-09-11 Severity: wishlist * Package name : masqdialer Version : 0.5.5 Upstream Author : Charles P. Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://w3.cpwright.com/mserver/ * License : GPL Description : daemon for controlling shared dialup links
The masqdialer system is designed to provide easily accessible control of multiple dialout modem connections to the members of a LAN using IP Masquerade for their internet connectivity. The system is a client/server design, so as long as a client can be written for a particular platform, that platform can take advantage of masqdialer's offerings. The masqdialer daemon runs on the linux machine, and upon an authorized client request, carries out the user's request. This is a repackage of the masqdialer package that existed in slink, which has since been removed from the archive. The upstream author has announced that he hasn't got the time to work on this software, but I'm interested in keeping it running on my network at home. The upstream tarball is called c-mserver, and the package refers to itself as ``mserver'', which conflicts with the currently orphaned mserver package. I intend to keep this package as ``masqdialer'', as it's a clearer name. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux willow 2.4.18 #1 Wed Sep 11 14:08:50 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg
