>Description:
	MS-Windows 2000 offers a "direct-connect" PPP client option.  This
	client requires a non-standard handshake sequence before it will
	send the initial PPP packet which getty triggers on.  The handshake
	is as follows:

		The MS-Windows client sends the string "CLIENT" up to 5 or 6
		times, waiting for some undocumented response.  If the
		client receives  "\r\n", it will send the first PPP packet.

	Once getty receives the first PPP packet, it launches pppd as
	ppplogin, and the connection succeeds.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Change a com port's entry in /etc/gettytab to one of the ppp.<baud>
	entries, then HUP init to make it so.

	Use an MS-Windows 2000 client to attempt a direct PPP connection.
>Fix:
	Apply the following patch.  Note that the CVS version numbers are
	from my private archive.
