N.B. Since 2.3.0, leaving the permitted IP addresses column of the
pap-secrets or chap-secrets file empty means that no addresses are

* Fixed compilation problems under SunOS.
* Fixed a bug introduced into chat in 2.3.2, and compilation problems
introduced into the MS-CHAP implementation in 2.3.2.
* The linux kernel driver has been updated for recent 2.1-series
kernel changes, and it now will ask kerneld to load compression

* In 2.3.1, I made a change which was intended to make pppd able to
detect loss of CD during or immediately after the connection script
runs. Unfortunately, this had the side-effect that the connection

reversed.
* Fix compilation problems in the Linux kernel driver.
