to keep the link up, so it re-dials whenever it detects the link go
down. This is useful for 'dedicated' links who use PPP.
It's been used for over a year w/out problems at different sites.
required. a core is not dumped at first connecting time and
dumped at second or third time. (patch I)
2. A routine for "show route" refers out of allocated space.
Values pointed by "lp" should be read as CHAR, I think.
there is also no free() for disallocation. (patch II)
Here is also a patch for an improvement: In current imprementation,
even if PPP connection is disconnected by time out, prompt of
interactive mode does not change from "PPP>" to "ppp>" to
indicate the disconnection on a terminal.
So I modified the code to do that. (patch III)

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

to int32_t. I only fixed the ones that I noticed the warnings for.
Perhaps most of the format strings are correct now because they were
wrong before. Except of course if int32_t isn't compatible with `int'.
*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
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.

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.

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.
2.Implment Redail function as working correctly.
3.Clean up a code as I notice.
