What are they?

Hi Gordon.

I have to admit to wondering what some of these acronyms stand for,
and not having any details on it, so perhaps somebody could
elucidate...

>>> Can I get a quick consensus from the list on whether GRE
>>> masquerading is natively supported in 2.1.x? It appears that GRE
>>> *tunneling* is in the kernel, but not *masquerading*. Is this
>>> correct?

>> Your understanding is correct. I had a patch in the 2.1.4x area

In that one email, there are two acronyms which don't appear to make
sense, so perhaps somebody can decode them for me...

Q> GRE = Grampian Railway Enthusiasts [Club]
Q> PPTP = Publicity, Promotions & Training Panel

Presumably, those are the wrong meanings thereof...

Best wishes from Riley.
