It *may* still be broken. The rfc is lousy at explaining how it's
supposed to work at negotiation time.
The *real* problem is ppp's LQM "policy" - something that's left to
the discression of the implementation..... I need to talk to some
third-party ppp implementation to discover what the concensus is.
The sources of pppd have as many ????s as I have. Unfortunately,
linux uses pppd too, so I won't get much mileage from talking to
that, and the NT RAS won't talk to my null-modem cable (the breakout
box says it's putting up the correct lines, but the RAS never sees
anything, and the client sends stuff and never gets a reply) !!!!
Mutter mutter mutter.
