* In 2.3.1, I made a change which was intended to make pppd able to
detect loss of CD during or immediately after the connection script
runs. Unfortunately, this had the side-effect that the connection

+**************************
+
+* Enhancements to chat, thanks to Francis Demierre. Chat can now
+accept comments in the chat script file, and has new SAY, HANGUP,

+
+* Fixed a bug which causes 2.3.0 to crash Solaris systems.
+
+* Bug-fixes and restructuring of the Linux kernel driver.
+
+* The holdoff behaviour of pppd has been changed slightly: now, if
+the link comes up for IP (or other network protocol) traffic, we
+consider that the link has been successfully established, and don't
+enforce the holdoff period after the link goes down.
+
+* Pppd should now correctly wait for CD (carrier detect) from the
+modem, even when the serial port initially had CLOCAL set, and it
+should also detect loss of CD during or immediately after the
+connection script runs.
+
+* Under linux, pppd will work with older 2.2.0* version kernel
+drivers, although demand-dialling is not supported with them.

Installation.
*************
./configure
make
+If you wish to use gcc (or another compiler) instead of Sun's cc, edit
+the svr4/Makedefs file and uncomment the definition of CC. You can
+also change the options passed to the C compiler by editing the COPTS
+definition.
+
2. Install the programs and kernel modules: as root, do
make install
This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the kernel
modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the /etc/ppp
-directory and populates it with default configuration files.

If your system normally has only one network interface, the default

2. Install the pppd, pppstats and chat programs and the loadable
module object files (you need to be root to do this):
By default, the programs and the loadable module object files go into
/usr/local/etc. Doing `make install' also copies a script called
ppp.INSTALL into /dev, and makes ppp.LOAD, ppp.UNLOAD, ppp.MKDEV and
-ppp.RMDEV links to it.
