I've got some patches here that I built ontop of 2.1.5's user ppp code and it patches fine against 2.2-current code. The patches are for user ppp running as a server process, they let you support some of Microsofts extentions to the IPCP that let you negotiate name servers and netbios name servers You just add enable msext set ns pri-addr sec-addr set nbns pri-addr sec-addr to the ppp.conf file and it does the trick. We find this useful with the newer mgetty's that detect PPP packets and run ppp and let PAP authenticate. What i'm wondering is should i submit these patches? They _are_ proprietory stuff (Microsoft clients) but for lots of of people supporting PPP clients they include MS clients. Would these sort of extentions be included if I submitted them? And if not, where would i put them so they aren't lots of all time.
