Hi, all, me the grey-pawed pppd problem child of the century.

I'm getting messages like these at connect time [and no, having my IP
on display here doesn't scare me yet].

[I'm NetBSD connecting to a FreeBSD pppd.]

There's three sections here:
	* What pppd thinks is going on [/^pppd:]
	* What the kernel thinks is going on [/^kernel:]
	* My configuration file [/^options:]

[Don't let the kernel: messages fool you -- I've patched my syslogd.]
