Actually what we do need is completely _new_ ppp driver, written in assembly language unlike that memory hogs (60..100Kb!). And sure it _should_ support dial on demand and redial on carrier loss.

They made a useless zoo of versions isntead of the only one everybody actually needs: THE ONE THAT CAN WORK WITH EXTERNAL SENDMAIL. No-no. Unix version only :-E~~ > There's an old ansi telnet that will resolve to addresses. You'll have to > look for it at simtelnet. NCSA one is good enough,i think Kermit should work too.
