+ indicating the number of stop bits to use for async serial ports.
+
+* Various bug fixes.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.6.
+**************************
+

+
+* Options files can now set and unset environment variables for
+ scripts.
+
+* The timeout for chat scripts can now be taken from an environment
+ variable.

+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.5.
+**************************
+
* Under Linux, pppd can now operate in a mode where it doesn't request
the peer's IP address, as some peers refuse to supply an IP address.
Since Linux supports device routes as well as gateway routes, it's
possible to have no remote IP address assigned to the ppp interface
and still route traffic over it.
+* Pppd now works better with 3G modems that do strange things such as
+ sending IPCP Configure-Naks with the same values over and over again.
+
* The PPP over L2TP plugin is included, which works with the pppol2tp
PPP channel code in the Linux kernel. This allows pppd to be used
to set up tunnels using the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol.
+* A new 'enable-session' option has been added, which enables session
+ accounting via PAM or wtwp/wtmpx, as appropriate. See the pppd man
+ page for details.
+
* Several bugs have been fixed.
