The only things not in RELENG_2_2 are:
1. An MTU negotiation thing that makes ppp NAK the peers MRU if
you've "set mtu" in your config file. This is somewhat cosmetic
- I may merge it.
2. The LCP layers are not shut down correctly. This is apparant if
you run ppp -background. When ppp times out, it exits without
ever actually sending the TerminateReq to the other side. I'm
currently looking at bringing this into 2.2, pending a reply from
tom@tomqnx.com (Tom Torrance) confirming that his somewhat
obscure case is now behaving correctly. This has been tested
fairly extensively in -current over the past couple of weeks by
me (and hopefully some of the other committers - I followed up
the commit with a plea for testing - no news is good news).
