You'd need to add an option to do this - enabling it by default would
break a lot of stuff (eg I use ppp -direct for incoming PPP calls). If
-direct *by default* used chat then I would have to change my ppp.conf
and that would suck :)

Perhaps have 'enable usechatindirect' or some such..

(You might want to forward the email to the PPP maintainer BTW)
