Also remove extraneous setuid(0) - it's only undone by
the subsequent call to SelectSystem().
o Allow "set var" with no args to blank var (don't req "").
o Zero VarTerm ASAP if not in interactive mode.
o Never print anything to stdout in -direct mode.
o Count redial when failing to open modem.
o Increase device size to 40 characters (for host:port).
o Remove missed "if (fd == 0) fd = 1;".
o Don't give up on incoming non-terminal connections.
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.
received and after the TerminateAck is sent (as
per rfc1661) rather than to ST_STOPPING. Going
to ST_STOPPING will leave us in a state where
we're waiting for the other side to do something -
not a good idea, especially as the client side sends
a TerminateReq then exits on idle timeout.
alias commands simply won't work. Only root may specify the
location of the alias lib (otherwise, it's hard-coded).
Make logprintf silently fail if LogOpen hasn't been called.

of reconnect & -background.
o Fix reconnect anomolies.
o Make reconnect apply to failed LQR hangups (& mention in man page).
o Make reconnect effective in -background mode.
o Listen on socket in -background mode.
o Try all phone numbers in -background mode.
o Insist on system arg in -background mode.
o Make a control-connection close command exit in -background mode.
o Output status message to stdout on exit of parent in -background mode.
o Don't notify parent of success too soon.
o Describe termination EX_* code.
o Miscelaneous diagnostic corrections.
o Remove redundant connect_time from modem.c.
o Don't repeatedly DownConnection().
the connection after an unexpected loss of carrier:
set reconnect timer ntries
The man page warns against using this command when your
timeout value is slightly more than the other sides :{}
