+OpenL2TP is a complete implementation of RFC2661 - Layer Two Tunneling
+Protocol Version 2, able to operate as both a server and a client.
+
+OpenL2TP has been written specifically for Linux. It consists of
+- a daemon, openl2tpd, handling the L2TP control protocol exchanges
+ for all tunnels and sessions
+- a plugin for pppd to allow its PPP connections to run over L2TP
+ sessions
+- a Linux kernel driver for efficient datapath (packaged separately).
+- a command line application for management.
+
+All data packets are handled by the Linux kernel in order that the
+datapath be as efficient as possible. The Linux PPP-over-L2TP kernel
+driver (pppol2tp.o) must be loaded either dynamically as a kernel
+module or linked in statically.
+
+See README.SLACKWARE for post-installation configuration notes.
