I noticed that, that's not something I was expecting to have to fix :( I
do have some ideas on it though. I don't much like it, because it
appears to be impossible to use userland ppp without modifying the
system config file, very messy IMHO, and completely awful for a dynamic
config like synce has. I'm going to have to add an entry to the ppp
config file to enable a control socket, and run pppctl to configure the
link, hopefully have something working soon, and it will at least be
usable at that point.

The other fun part is working out devd to replace all the hal stuff,
there appears to be very little documentation. What i'd like to do is
listen for connection events involving the uipaq driver to set off the
connection, but I can't see any way of getting the correct device file
when this happens, are you familiar with devd ?

Ta
Mark
