Having browsed the RFC's some time ago, I seem to remember there are
provisions for callback in the PPP protocol.
Is this stuff currently implemented in pppd, or are there any plans
to do it?

I also have a related question regarding Microsoft RAS. Is 
the authentication and callback stuff in W95/NT fully RFC compliant
or did Microsoft throw in some proprietary extensions?
