On line 156 of adial.c:
if(!strncmpi(value,"@PPPD.EXE",9) || !strncmpi(value,"@EPPPD.EXE",10))
So you can have "Connection @PPPD.EXE" or "Connection @EPPPD.EXE" and
pppdrc.cfg will be written. IMHO this should be changed into:
if(strstr(strupr(value), "PPPD"))
So now if your "connection" line had "pppd" in it pppdrc.cfg will be
written, is anyone actually using pppd.exe (I have it soemwhere but have
never tried it) anyway this should work satisfactionally for everyone (or
should it even be "ppp" ?

Correct.

Correct, debug output from epppd.

I think that everything will work once my patch is applied.

Yeap (well actually to use not load), I thought Michael was going to change
this for 1.66 but he apparently haven't done so. For 1.70 perhaps? And once
again Michael which source should I send Glenn and Clarence - 1.66, or one
of the test versions labeled "1.70" or "2.00" ? Besides I think I need a
new core.prj - I needed to change stuff just to get it to compile...
