Internet-L2tp is a program in Bash-script that facilitates the process of connection to Internet through ISP's that uses L2TP (Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol). Internet-L2tp makes use of l2tpd (http://www.l2tpd.org).

After many years without updates, I'm marking this project inactive. The reason is simple: the script provided here was only usable with my ISP, and even it changed from LT2P to "transparent" authentication through DHCP. If you have any interest on maintaining this project, drop me a mail so I can transfer the maintainership.
Internet-l2tp 0.13.1 is released (finally!). Few changes, the main is a bug fix regarding gateway detection. For more see http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=53363&release_id=122680. A few months ago, my Cable ISP changed its connection system. In other words: no need of L2TP anymore. This way, I'm unable to test this new release. If you encouter problems, contact me. My idea is to "emulate" a server with l2tpd in one machine, and try to connect by other. But, actually, I can't do this (my Intranet is cross-over, so I have o buy a hub to do this ;)). If you want to help in development of Internet-l2tp, including tests, contact me. I will try to continue Internet-l2tp's development, but I can't (for a while) test new releases.
The CVS tree of Internet-L2tp is outdated and will not be updated anymore. Reason: I messed it up and there's no way to come back ;-). Regular versions will be released, although. If you know how to delete modules in SourceForge's CVS (including those locked by a "#cvs.lock" dir) email me at lizardo@horizon.com.br. Thanks.

Internet-L2tp is going to be translated to English, in an effort to make the project more "universal". This will be done because English is widely used in Computer Science, and almost every people that works with Linux knows the basic of English. So, the next versions of Internet-L2tp will have English and Brazilian Portuguese translations. Everyone interested in translating Internet-L2tp to its native language, are encouraged to do this :-). Please, let me know about that.
