The only things not in RELENG_2_2 are:

1.  An MTU negotiation thing that makes ppp NAK the peers MRU if 
    you've "set mtu" in your config file.  This is somewhat cosmetic 
    - I may merge it.

2.  The LCP layers are not shut down correctly.  This is apparant if 
    you run ppp -background.  When ppp times out, it exits without 
    ever actually sending the TerminateReq to the other side.  I'm
    currently looking at bringing this into 2.2, pending a reply from 
    tom@tomqnx.com (Tom Torrance) confirming that his somewhat 
    obscure case is now behaving correctly.  This has been tested 
    fairly extensively in -current over the past couple of weeks by 
    me (and hopefully some of the other committers - I followed up 
    the commit with a plea for testing - no news is good news).
