Before you followup, I'd just like to say I DON'T want to use user-mode
PPP for many reasons I don't want to go into. ;)

My question is this:

I'm setting up pppd (on 2.2-GAMMA) to use chat to dial.  On Linux this
/etc/ppp/options file worked:

/dev/modem 115200 yadda yadda connect "chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript" yadda yadda

Now, however, I notice that chat is invoked like this (by looking at the
process list):

	chat /etc/ppp/chatscript

Where did my -v and -f flags go?  -v is REALLY nice for troubleshooting chat
problems.  It still *works*, but...
