>Description:
ppp(8) doesn't work when the phone number includes "#"
and is not embraced with """ in ppp.conf.
It has not been occuered with 4.1R or earlier.
1) all examples of "set phone" in /usr/share/ppp/ppp.conf
have raw phone numbers without embracement.
2) Manual pages of ppp(8) has an ambiguous example as:
set phone telno[|backupnumber]...[:nextnumber]...
without any descriptions that suggest of embracement.
Note:
The phone number with "#" is used for designation of
protocols such as "PIAFS" by a Japanese carrier company.
It may be machine-independed, I think.
>How-To-Repeat:
For examples,
including "set phone 1234567##4" in ppp.conf
ppp doesn't dial to any distinations, "1234567##4"
or "1234567" .
>Fix:
1) embrace all phone number of examples with """.
(/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample)
2) clarify that it is needed embracement for
phone number.
or
1) (same).
2) clarify that "#" in phone number is needed a quotation
with "\" .
