would be beneficial. In particular, the new dynamic DNS update
functionality has not been well tested.</li>
<li>sppp(4) upgrade. The ISDN project (i4b) once maintained an
off-spring version of the SyncPPP driver, with a number of
enhancements and bug-fixes made to it by people contributing to
the i4b project. On the other hand, other improvements and
bug-fixes of the regular tree's sppp driver didn't make it back
to that version, so eventually two different SyncPPP drivers
developed. The i4b version has been merged back in FreeBSD-current
a few months ago, and these changes have now been folded into
FreeBSD-stable as well, thus eliminating i4b's separate version.
sppp users (of both flavours) should carefully test the new
version. Users who previously used the i4b version should find
all those improvements still being present (most notably, VJ header
compression). Users who use sppp on hardware (HDLC) devices (like
ar(4) or sr(4)) should see no breakage, but might notice that the
negotiation of VJ header compression is now enabled by default.
Use spppcontrol(8) to modify the default behaviour. Please report
any breakage or oddity you observe to &lt;joerg@freebsd.org&gt;.</li>
