Hi,
Yes, this looks fine, although I think this shows that the -direct
description is wrong. Perhaps this is more appropriate:
-direct
This is used for communicating over an already established connection,
usually when receiving incoming connections accepted by getty(8). ppp
ignores the ``set device'' line and uses descriptor 0 as the link. ppp
will ignore any configured chat scripts unless the ``force-scripts''
option has been enabled.
If callback....
Do you agree with this description ? If so, I'll go ahead and commit the
changes. Just to be picky, I'll re-sort the OPT_ variables too :*P
And thanks for the patches.
