It didn't make 4.2 - it was MFC'd on December 18 :-(
Brian, may I quote you from a different thread? =)
"I think I've figured out the problem though... can you try the latest
version of ppp - should be available via
http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html RSN (the 010204 archive) if you
don't get -current. "
John might not need that version, but shouldn't he be able to run a newer ppp on his 4.2-R without hitches?
