-* Multilink: this package now allows you to combine multiple serial
- links into one logical link or `bundle', for increased bandwidth and
- reduced latency. This is currently only supported under the
- Linux-2.3.99pre5 or later kernels.
-
-* All the pppd processes running on a system now write information
- into a common database. I used the `tdb' code from samba for this.
-
-* New hooks have been added.
