This tells ppp to loopback packets addressed to
the ppp interface IP coming *from* the tun
device.
This means that you can ping the tun interface IP
from inside :-)

Split LCP logging into LCP, IPCP and CCP logging,

"set stopped" directive. If the timeout occurs
it will cause a "Down" event, hanging up the line
if it's still up. This *isn't* part of the FSM
diagram, but I consider it ok as a "higher level
implementation specific timeout" as specified in
the rfc ;-}
Discussed briefly with: joerg
INT cause a hangup - not exiting for -ddial & -auto.
HUP must exit because init sends this at system shutdown
time (why, I don't know), and we don't want to end up
redialing after the HUP (due to another dfilter packet).

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.

Suggested by: joerg
Document this behaviour. Document that the number of dial attempts
applies to the number of phone calls rather than the number of times
each number is dialed. Add a missing .El. Give a decent description
of how to connect to an ISP.
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.
connecting to a host immediately in the foreground.
I would like to be able to run ppp from a script so that my script can be
sure that it is connected to the 'net before it continues running:
# Dial up the internet.
ppp -background myprovider || exit 1
do-some-net-command
# Hang up the modem.
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/ppp.tun0.pid`
Another problem is that the current ppp calls its process id file
`/var/run/PPP.server', which may conflict if you have more than one IP
tunnel interface available.

add some logging functionality which I find very useful.
'set debug link' will record just link up/down and address assignments.
'set debug connect' will record the entire chat dialog
'set debug carrier' will record just chat lines including 'CARRIER'
(so that I can be sure I'm getting a 28.8 line).
There was a global change required to permit LogPrintf to take a bit
mask instead of a bit position value (to permit logging some events
on either of two flags, so that no change in 'set debug lcp' would
result from the code supporting 'link'. Thus the diffs are rather
long for such a small change. The man page is also touched.
Oh, and there was a slight syntax problem in route.c

*not* our controlling terminal (SIGHUP can coming in other case)
2) Add HUPCL for non-dedicated lines to be shure that modem
properly resetted.
3) Correct usage string.
2) Improve on-line help subsystem
3) Make 'term' mode works even carrier dropped (old code
close line forever here)
4) Make 'term' mode 8bit clean.
5) Improve manual page
6) #ifdef DEBUG diagnostic about missing optional files.
7) Don't put interactive dialing info to logfile
A settable redial timer helps to avoid the problem where both ends
of a link want to dial at the same time and the line winds up busy
for both ends. The process id is logged in /var/run/PPP.system where
system is the name of the called system. When both ends of a link
are running in demand dial mode, you need an easy way to get the pid
of the ppp on the called end so it can be killed and re-started with
-direct or pppd started to handle the incoming ppp session.
2. Add secret description for "set timeout" to man.
