Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4rel-9
Severity: minor

If pppd is invoked with a command line parameter that specifies a device
that does not exist, the error message "unrecognized option xxx" is
printed.

E.g.:
pppd noauth crtscts local connect \
"/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider2" /dev/ircomm0 115200

may produce the error message:
pppd: unrecognized option '/dev/ircomm0'

This is misleading, as the problem is not that pppd does not know the
option, rather the device node does not exist.

Therefor I propose to change the message to:

pppd: unrecognized option or problem opening device: '/dev/ircomm0'

or similar.
