Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. It provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking them and their family members. They can also use it to connect to resources such as news sites or instant messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet service providers (ISPs).
Dip handles the connections needed for dialup IP links, like SLIP or PPP. It can handle both incoming and outgoing connections, using password security for incoming connections.

Linux/IR is a project with the goal of implementing the IrDA protocol stack into the Linux kernel. IrDA is a standard for infrared communication between devices such as laptops, printers, PDAs, mobile phones, and LAN access points. LAN and printer support has been implemented, and the current release is quite stable. There are still a few problems. The IrDA layers that have been implemented are IrPHY, physical layer, stuffing and wrapping of frames, IrLAP, link layer, sliding windows and link access control, IrLMP, link management, multiplexing, IrIAS, information base, device discovery information, IrLPT, printer support, IrTTP, transport layer, flow control, IrLAN, LAN access, IrOBEX, and object exchange, so you can talk to your Palm III.
Elm Millennium Edition is a text-based mail client. There are two branches: Elm 2.4ME+, which is based on Elm 2.4, and Elm ME+ 2.5, which also incorporates some code from Elm 2.5.
