+PAP, and record the user in the system wtmp file. Note that the peer
+must have an entry in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file as well as the
+system password database to be allowed access.
+.TP
+.B maxconnect \fIn
+Terminate the connection when it has been available for network
+traffic for \fIn\fR seconds (i.e. \fIn\fR seconds after the first
+network control protocol comes up).
+.TP
+.B maxfail \fIn
+Terminate after \fIn\fR consecutive failed connection attempts. A
+value of 0 means no limit. The default value is 10.
+.TP
+.B modem
+Use the modem control lines. This option is the default. With this
+option, pppd will wait for the CD (Carrier Detect) signal from the
+modem to be asserted when opening the serial device (unless a connect
+script is specified), and it will drop the DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
+signal briefly when the connection is terminated and before executing
+the connect script. On Ultrix, this option implies hardware flow
+control, as for the \fIcrtscts\fR option.
+.TP
+.B ms-dns \fI<addr>
+If pppd is acting as a server for Microsoft Windows clients, this
+option allows pppd to supply one or two DNS (Domain Name Server)
+addresses to the clients. The first instance of this option specifies
+the primary DNS address; the second instance (if given) specifies the
+secondary DNS address. (This option was present in some older
+versions of pppd under the name \fBdns-addr\fR.)
+.TP
+.B ms-wins \fI<addr>
+If pppd is acting as a server for Microsoft Windows or "Samba"
+clients, this option allows pppd to supply one or two WINS (Windows
+Internet Name Services) server addresses to the clients. The first
+instance of this option specifies the primary WINS address; the second
+instance (if given) specifies the secondary WINS address.
+.TP
+.B name \fIname
+Set the name of the local system for authentication purposes to
+\fIname\fR. This is a privileged option. With this option, pppd will
+use lines in the secrets files which have \fIname\fR as the second
+field when looking for a secret to use in authenticating the peer. In
+addition, unless overridden with the \fIuser\fR option, \fIname\fR
+will be used as the name to send to the peer when authenticating the
+local system to the peer. (Note that pppd does not append the domain
+name to \fIname\fR.)
+.TP
+.B netmask \fIn
+Set the interface netmask to \fIn\fR, a 32 bit netmask in "decimal dot"
+notation (e.g. 255.255.255.0). If this option is given, the value
+specified is ORed with the default netmask. The default netmask is
+chosen based on the negotiated remote IP address; it is the
+appropriate network mask for the class of the remote IP address, ORed
+with the netmasks for any non point-to-point network interfaces in the
+system which are on the same network. (Note: on some platforms, pppd
+will always use 255.255.255.255 for the netmask, if that is the only
+appropriate value for a point-to-point interface.)
+.TP
+.B noaccomp
+Disable Address/Control compression in both directions (send and
+receive).
+.TP
+.B noauth
+Do not require the peer to authenticate itself. This option is
+privileged.
+.TP
+.B nobsdcomp
+Disables BSD-Compress compression; \fBpppd\fR will not request or
+agree to compress packets using the BSD-Compress scheme.
+.TP
+.B noccp
+Disable CCP (Compression Control Protocol) negotiation. This option
+should only be required if the peer is buggy and gets confused by
+requests from pppd for CCP negotiation.
+.TP
+.B nocrtscts
+Disable hardware flow control (i.e. RTS/CTS) on the serial port.
+If neither the \fIcrtscts\fR nor the \fInocrtscts\fR nor the
+\fIcdtrcts\fR nor the \fInodtrcts\fR option is given, the hardware
+flow control setting for the serial port is left unchanged.
+.TP
+.B nodtrcts
+This option is a synonym for \fInocrtscts\fR. Either of these options will
+disable both forms of hardware flow control.
+.TP
+.B nodefaultroute
+Disable the \fIdefaultroute\fR option. The system administrator who
+wishes to prevent users from creating default routes with pppd
+can do so by placing this option in the /etc/ppp/options file.
+.TP
+.B nodeflate
+Disables Deflate compression; pppd will not request or agree to
+compress packets using the Deflate scheme.
+.TP
+.B nodetach
+Don't detach from the controlling terminal. Without this option, if a
+serial device other than the terminal on the standard input is
+specified, pppd will fork to become a background process.
+.TP
+.B noip
+Disable IPCP negotiation and IP communication. This option should
+only be required if the peer is buggy and gets confused by requests
+from pppd for IPCP negotiation.
+.TP
+.B noipv6
+Disable IPv6CP negotiation and IPv6 communication. This option should
+only be required if the peer is buggy and gets confused by requests
+from pppd for IPv6CP negotiation.
