>Description:
The pppd daemon is not functioning correctly when run from the
command line. This is because it fails to read the correct
options file for the tty it is attached to when the tty is
specified on the command line. The order of option processing is
incorrect in the code compared to the manual entry.
>How-To-Repeat:
create a file /etc/ppp/options.tty00 with some options in.
run /usr/sbin/pppd 57600 tty00 from the command line
the daemon will look for options.ttyv0 instead of options. tty00
