It's fixed now though and will be at http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html soon. > I'm not sure this feature is worth it..not like people write big ppp.conf's > needing heavy per line to the right commenting they can't just put above the > line do they?..and you break all netcom users.. I think that depends. There are lots of people that use ppp for fairly imaginative tunnelling arrangements (me for one) and it's convenient in this respect. Lots of people have more than one ISP too. I think the big deal about the authkey is that it's purposefully not logged anywhere, and as a result, it's difficult to figure out what's going wrong. > Hm..
