+What's new in ppp-2.3.9.
************************
+* Support for the new generic PPP layer under development for the
+ Linux kernel.
+
+* You can now place extra options to apply to specific users at the
+ end of the line with their password in the pap-secrets or
+ chap-secrets file, separated from the IP address(es) with a "--"
+ separator. These options are parsed after the peer is authenticated
+ but before network protocol (IPCP, IPXCP) or CCP negotiation
+ commences.
+
+* Pppd will apply the holdoff period if the link was terminated by the
+ peer. It doesn't apply it if the link was terminated because the
+ local pppd thought it was idle.
+
+* The `nodefaultip' option can be used in demand mode to say that pppd
+ should not suggest its local IP address to the peer.
+
+* The `init' option has been added; this causes pppd to run a script
+ to initialize the serial device (e.g. by sending an init string to
+ the modem). Unlike the connect option, this can be used in a
+ dial-in situation. (Thanks to Tobias Ringstrom.)
+
+* There is a new `logfile' option to send log messages to a file as
+ well as syslog.
+
+* Sundry bugs fixed.

+**************************
+
* The exit status of pppd will now indicate whether the link was
successfully established, or if not, what error was encountered.
