Discussions on TLDP lists
LDP unreachable author problems
Jean-PhilippeGuérard, the howto translations coordinator for the
French project traduc.org said
that traduc.org would like to publish the Compressed-TCP Sessions using
SSH-like tools HOWTO but wanted information regarding the license under
which it was published and was not able to reach the author. David
Lawyer responded saying that The LDP was facing similar problems and
that they would be of little help.
