PPP dial-in configuration: Status of this module

## 4. Status of this module

The pppdialin module has been introduced in Linuxconf 1.10r26. The `/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/ppplogin` has been enhanced to support the `pppparms`. So this is considered experimental.

## 4.1 The pppdialin module and PAP login

Unfortunately, the PPP daemon (pppd) can't accept new option after a PAP authentication. This makes the pppdialin module much less useful for PAP. Once the pppdialin has gained widespread usage, we intend to modify the pppd daemon so it support this. For now, use PAP (no login script) for normal setup and ask client to use a login script for those who need special handling (routing, fixed IP, email queueing, ...)
