  Modified:    usr.sbin/ppp  command.c defs.h main.c modem.c phase.h ppp.8
  Log:
  For /usr/sbin/ppp, you must choose between running ppp in the background or
  connecting to a host immediately in the foreground.
  
  I would like to be able to run ppp from a script so that my script can be
  sure that it is connected to the 'net before it continues running:
  
    # Dial up the internet.
    ppp -background myprovider || exit 1
  
    do-some-net-command
  
    # Hang up the modem.
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/ppp.tun0.pid`
  
  Another problem is that the current ppp calls its process id file
  `/var/run/PPP.server', which may conflict if you have more than one IP
  tunnel interface available.
  
  Closes PR#1469
