I have just released ppp-2.3.11. You can get it at ftp://linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp or ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp. There are .tar.gz, .src.rpm, .ppc.rpm and .i386.rpm files there. There aren't any really major changes in this release as far as Linux is concerned, just a collection of improvements and bugfixes: * New hooks have been added - pap_logout_hook, ip_up_hook, and ip_down_hook. * A new `passprompt' plugin is included, thanks to Alan Curry, which makes it possible for pppd to call an external program to get the PAP password to send to the peer. * The error messages for the situation where authentication is required because the system has a default route have been improved. * There is a new connect_delay option which specifies how long pppd should pause after the connect script finishes. Previously this delay was fixed at 1 second. (This delay terminates as soon as pppd sees a valid PPP frame from the peer.) * The `hide-password' option is now the default, and there is a new `show-password' option to enable the printing of password strings in the debug output. * A fairly complete list of the names of PPP protocols has been added so that when pppd rejects a frame because its protocol is not supported, it can print the name of the unsupported protocol. * Synchronous serial lines are supported under Linux 2.3.x. * The bug where pppd would not recognize a modem hangup under Linux 2.3.x kernels has been fixed.
