ab7d88ae2d o Redesign the layering mechanism and make the aliasing code part of
the layering.

  We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
  out what we're dealing with).  A static set of `dispatch' routines are
  also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
  `pulled' up through the stacked layers.

  Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
  when they're opened.  For the moment there are three device types;
  ttys, execs and tcps.

o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
  pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
  ``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.

9a2c03d6d7 Change ``set device'' so that it parses its arguments as one
device per argument rather than the old way of concatenating
everything then splitting the result at commas and whitespace.

Old syntax of ``set device /dev/cuaa0, /dev/cuaa1''
may no longer contain the comma, but syntax such as
``set device "!ssh host ppp -direct label"'' is now
possible.

c6b0abda5c When our dial timeout is ``random'', display its value
correctly by invoking the timer to get the value before
displaying the message.
Don't assume that a value of 0 is ``random'' in
``show datalink''.
Make the random value between 1 and DIAL_TIMEOUT rather
than between 0 and DIAL_TIMEOUT-1

08a4aed34d Wait by default for one second after the login script
is complete before checking carrier.  If it's there,
the device supports carrier.  If it's not it doesn't.

Add the ``set cd'' command for deciding how soon to check
for carrier, and for deciding if carrier is REQUIRED.

The default has changed:  Pre 2.0 versions of ppp waited
for 1 second.  Version 2 didn't wait, but this causes
problems with some (few?) modems that don't assert carrier
immediately on reporting CONNECT.  The one second delay
is back now and can be removed with ``set cd 0''.

Bump the ppp version number in case this needs to be changed
again....
