Even then, depending on which version you're running, it may not work reliably due to improvements in the kernel tty subsystem. However, all is not lost. I have a version that is running on my -current system, but it is taking advantage of some hacks^H^H^H^H^Hchanges to other parts of the kernel to try to decouple the network and tty layer from un-necessary blocking of each other, while still maintaining coherent protection of subsystems like the mbuf allocator... It's non-trivial, but since ppp-2.2 wont be imported into the tree until after 2.1-stable is released, I've got time to work on it. If it can't be made to work, then it'll just go in the old way.
