+* Pppd should compile on Solaris and SunOS again.
+
+* Pppd should now set the MTU correctly on demand-dialled interfaces.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.0.
+**************************
+
+* 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.
+
+For a list of the changes made during the 2.3 series releases of this
+package, see the Changes-2.3 file.

+
+Compression methods.
+********************
+
+This package supports two packet compression methods: Deflate and
+BSD-Compress. Other compression methods which are in common use
+include Predictor, LZS, and MPPC. These methods are not supported for
+two reasons - they are patent-encumbered, and they cause some packets
+to expand slightly, which pppd doesn't currently allow for.
+BSD-Compress is also patent-encumbered (its inclusion in this package
+can be considered a historical anomaly :-) but it doesn't ever expand
+packets. Neither does Deflate, which uses the same algorithm as gzip.
