Connect: A Connection Manager

IMPORTANT: Read the Connect README first.

Connect is a generic connection manager for use in situations requiring management of multiple, heterogeneous, connection oriented resources. The initial motivation for connect was the need for a PPP dial-up connection manager for small local area networks.

Overview

Connect's client/server architecture allows connections to be managed locally or remotely over a TCP/IP network. The package includes a Linux server and a Linux client. A Windows 95/98/NT/2000 client is also available.
