This says:
"The package description should be written for the average likely user"
The average likely user should know what L2TP is and understand the
LNSes role in this. I don't think that any of the terms used wouldn't be
understood by the sort of person this package is useful for.
(And the only abbreviations I count in the description are L2TP [which
gets expanded], LNS, PPP and ISP.)
