Just for the sake of ISP's using the user-mode ppp for large numbers of
clients, it would be good to patch route.c :

int
GetIfIndex(name)
char *name;
{
  struct ifreq *ifrp;
  int s, len, elen, index;
  struct ifconf ifconfs;
  struct ifreq reqbuf[32];

and change 32 to something higher (at ~2 per interface, this runs out of 
steam at about 15 interfaces).
