Redirection of stdout is very old solution, from times,
when the only way to find which IP address we were assigned
was to redirect output of PPP.EXE (EtherPPP - 125 KB !!!)
to file and then parse the file for output address.
As both EPPPD and LSPPP support BOOTP emulation, this method
is now obsolete, and driver's output won't be redirected to
PPP.LOG in future releases.
I will also give user and option to choose from two PPP
drivers, because it is always better if users can experiment
before they complain.
