+What's new in ppp-2.3.6.
 ************************
 
+* The device name is now a privileged option, meaning a non-privileged
+  user cannot specify the device name on the command line or in their
+  .ppprc file.
+
+* The default behaviour of pppd is now to let a peer which has not
+  authenticated itself (e.g. your ISP) use any IP address to which the
+  system does not already have a route.  (This is currently only
+  supported under Linux, Solaris and Digital Unix; on the other
+  systems, the peer must now authenticate itself unless the noauth
+  option is used.)
+
+* Added new option `usepeerdns', thanks to Nick Walker
+  <nickwalker@email.com>.  If the peer supplies DNS addresses, these
+  will be written to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf.  The ip-up script can then
+  be used to add these addresses to /etc/resolv.conf if desired (see
+  the ip-up.local.add and ip-down.local.add files in the scripts
+  directory).
+
+* The Solaris ppp driver should now work correctly on SMP systems.
+
+* Minor corrections so that the code can compile under Solaris 7,
+  and under Linux with glibc-2.1.
+
+* The Linux kernel driver has been restructured for improved
+  performance.
+
+* Pppd now won't start the ip-down script until the ip-up script has
+  finished.

 * A workaround to avoid tickling a bug in the `se' serial port driver
