I haven't seen any send-pr stuff. I've done some work on both the -stable and -current distributions of iijppp and I would be interested to know about your problems. A few things in 2.1.5's iijppp that have been fixed are the stupid 10 tunnel device limit in os.c Other changes in 2.2 include route.c (some missing "free's" added and dynamic vs. static memory allocs for some sections). Lots of logging stuff got slight naming changes... someone mucked with the chat stuff... support for ms extensions (rfc1877) and pap authentication using the password file... The easiest way to see the diff's would be to cvs checkout a copy of each and diff 'em. I'd suggest patching route.c and os.c for starters... then checking the commit logs for each of the other files changed, checking the reasons/applied patches, and updating for _fixes_ (not functional additions) FWIW we run a "updated" iijppp avaiable at ftp://ftp.imforei.apana.org.au/pub/freebsd/ppp-plus that has the os.c and route.c fixes... I haven't merged in more recent fixes. If you have the time a review of current's iijppp code with regards to the mpd (multilink) code's changes and all applied changes/fixes, plus anything netbsd might have done with it could be profitable.
