i agree, it would break things if the 'default' section in the
ppp.conf has 'set dial foo' and 'set login bar' lines in it
(which is most likely the case) *and* if you use the same ppp.conf
for both dialing out and receiving calls. in order to make things
work people would have to put 'set dial' and 'set login' lines for
the labels used in 'direct' mode.=20

i guess it is better to add the option. back to PPP hacking
then :)

thanks,
max
