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.

2. Optimize ModemQlen.
3. Sending ProtoReject for Unknow protocol (i.e. IPX)
4. Avoid select looping by reading tun under the high system load.
5. Adding Local version String for maintenance.
6. Just more speak rather silent ignore if you type invalid key words.
The first problem I found was that descriptor 0 was being closed.
This happens because the modem variable is set to 0 to indicate
that it is not valid but there are not enough tests for the modem
variable being 0. You can see where I have done this in the patch.
Code in OpenModem() dups the modem descriptor if it is < 3. Once
this happened the modem was always open and an incomming call would
have getty and ppp reading the modem.
Descriptor 1 is closed when the quit command was executed from a
telnet connection. The next modem open returns descriptor 1
and this gets duped leaving the modem always open again.
The modem was not being closed when the connection dropped or was
closed from the other end. The UUCP lock was also not removed if
the modem could not be opened.

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 !!
