 Thats true. However I am very reluctant to go get a copy of PPPD and
try and make it run on a BSDI system just so I can have a PPP daemon
that works right. BSDI should update their PPP system and send it all
out to us free because they are behind in times! Basically 60% of all
the programs in BSDI need to be updated in the next release. (irc,
netscape blah blah)..
