o Redesign the layering mechanism and make the aliasing code part of
the layering.

We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
out what we're dealing with). A static set of `dispatch' routines are
also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
`pulled' up through the stacked layers.

Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
when they're opened. For the moment there are three device types;
ttys, execs and tcps.

o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.

Initial RADIUS support (using libradius). See the man page for
details. Compiling with -DNORADIUS (the default for `release')
removes support.

TODO: The functionality in libradius::rad_send_request() needs
to be supplied as a set of routines so that ppp doesn't
have to wait indefinitely for the radius server(s). Instead,
we need to get a descriptor back, select() on the descriptor,
and ask libradius to service it when necessary.
For now, ppp blocks SIGALRM while in rad_send_request(), so
it misses PAP/CHAP retries & timeouts if they occur.

Only PAP is functional. When CHAP is attempted, libradius
complains that no User-Password has been specified... rfc2138
says that it *mustn't* be used for CHAP :-(

o Don't try to transfer tty device descriptors as there's no way of
transferring session rights with them. Instead, create two
`/bin/cat' processes. A new child is spawned and disassociated from
the terminal and the parent, which continues with the rest of the ppp
process. Meanwhile, the parent spawns another child, and both the
parent and child exec the `/bin/cat' commands with the appropriate
descriptors. This way, the session is owned by the parent, and the
tty is held open.
o Close LCPs that have done a TLF and are now in ST_STOPPED before
calling Down. This prevents them from trying to come back up again
after the peer has shut them down (it seems a bit strange that the
rfc says that a Down in ST_STOPPED will cause a TLS etc).
o Don't try to set the physical link name pointer when we're receiving
and renaming a datalink. The physical hasn't been created yet, and as
it happens, the garbage physical pointer happens to be the value of another
physical - so we're pointing that other physical name at ourselves.
yeuck.
o Re-arrange the order of things in main (DoLoop()). We now handle
signals only after the select and not before the UpdateSet. It's
possible that either a signal (FSM timeout) or a descriptor_Read()
brings a link down, after which we'd better tidy up any dead direct
and 1off descriptors before calling UpdateSet() again.
o Mention when we detect a PPP packet when we see one before the link
is up (then start LCP as before).

they're still around).

from our descriptor [fd]sets when a datalink is on death-row (to
be transferred to another running ppp), thus avoiding the possibility

descriptor functions. Now we ensure that the MP socket descriptor
