To Chris,

If you are going to quote me in the future, be
accurate and quote me in context!

And for some ODD reason you don't want to get off
your duff and read the RFCs for yourself!  I gave
you a link to one RFC on the subject.

Edgar publicly stated that he's happy to receive
bugfixes for PPP.

Weren't you the one that went ballistic when I
suggested that you even contact your ISP?  
Anyway, as I already said in comp.lang.oberon,
if you want to set up a "structured project"
then go for it!  Go to www.sourceforge.net
or some similair place.

Considering this problem only affects a few I
doubt it's going to make much difference with
regards to M$ vs Oberon.  Since you are the
one most affected by this you should take the
lead.  Read (carefully) the RFC I already
pointed you to.  Find other relavent RFCs
and read them.  (The RFC for PPP and PPPAuth
is available on the internet).

Regards,

John M. Drake
