Looks like this should solve the problems that people were having with
"@lh" and "@epppdd". I'm not sure if Arachne (still?) has internal
support for "ppp.exe" (etherppp or Klos). I've tried all of these at
one time or another but have settled on epppdd.

So once inside the loop, Arachne will add the "PPPD status:" line
to PPP.LOG, as well as updating pppdrc.cfg, if necessary.
