Support VJ slot id compression.
Previously, ppp would negotiate a max slot between 2 & 15
(if asked), and would agree to slot id compression (if asked).
It would then proceed to use 16 slots and no compression
anyway. The result was a rather unusable connection.
o Use syslog
o Remove references to stdout/stderr (incl perror())
o Introduce VarTerm - the interactive terminal or zero
o Allow "set timeout" to affect current session
o Change "set debug" to "set log"
o Allow "set log [+|-]flag"
o Make MSEXT and PASSWDAUTH stuff the default
o Move all #ifdef DEBUG stuff into the code - this
shouldn't be too much overhead. It's now controlled
with "set log +debug"
o Add "set log command, debug, tun, warn, error, alert"
o Remove cdefs.h, and assume an ansi compiler.
o Improve all diagnostic output
o Don't trap SIGSEGV
o SIGHUP now terminates again (log files are controlled
by syslog)
o Call CloseModem() when changing devices
o Fix parsing of third arg of "delete"
I think this fixes the "magic is same" problems that some
people have been experiencing.
The man page is being rewritten. It'll follow soon.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
ppp based on these patches for about 3 weeks with no downtime.
The original submitters comments:
Two features iijppp has over kernel ppp that I like are predictor1
compression and demand dialing. Here are a few bug fixes.
I expanded the priority queueing scheme and discovered it was broken
due to the assignment at ip.c line 300. All packets were being
queued at the same priority.
Fixing priority queueing broke predictor1 compression. Packets
were compressed before being queued and predictor1 worked as long
as the packets were popped off the queue in the same order they
were pushed onto the queue.
There were a few byte order problems in IP header tests also.
There is a recursion problem in SendLqrReport(). LcpClose() is
called when "Too many echo packets are lost" which winds up in
SendLqrReport() again. I believe the original intention was to
just stop the LQR timer with the call to StopLqr() but the side
effects hurt.

o Supporting SYNC SIO device (But need a device driver)
- add "set speed sync"
o Fixing bug for Predictor-1 function.
o Add new parameter that re-sent interval for set timeout commands.
o Improving RTT (Round Trip Time) and reducing processor time.
- Previous Timer service was using polling, and now using
SIGALRM ;-)
- A 0.94beta2 will not work correctly....
-- Follows are additinal feature not including 0.94beta2
o Support Proxy ARP
- add "enable/disable proxy" commands
o Marging common routine in CHAP/PAP.
o Enhancing LCP/IPCP log information.
o Support local Authfication connection on port 300x and tty.
- You can set up pair of your "hostname -s" and
password in ppp.secret. if either ppp.secret file nor
your hostname line don't exist, It will notify a message
and working as same as previous version.(Backword compatibility)
- If you did set up them, It's allow connection but nothing to do
except help and passwd command.
- add "passwd yourpasswd" commands
o Support afilter - keep Alive filter that a packet can send/receiving
according to ifilter/ofilter but doesn't count it as preventing idle
timer expires.
- Same syntax of other filters.
o Fixing bugs reported by current user for previous one. Thanks !!
