I just stumbled over this after I cvsuped the newest 3.x-STABLE --
these `ppp' changes made it to the 3.x-STABLE branch just two weeks
ago.  Thank god I found your old message!

I think this change deserves a big ``heads up.'' and an entry in the
3.5/4.1 release notes.  Germany's largest ISP (T-Online) uses PPP
login names that contain a '#'.
