I think this works already.
But that is not the only problem. The PPP control structures use pointers 
instead of unions because they cannot make any assumptions on the data itself 
due to its modular design.
Our netstack integrates many values, but I don't want PPP to become an integral 
part of our netstack. Maybe you don't like it and want to replace it. ;)

Oh, did anybody of you take a look at the current DialUpPreflet? Is it easy 
enough to use? I think I will change
"Dial Automatically When Needed" to "Default Connection" and make it only 
active automatically if there is no default connection. Why should a user 
bother about "Dial Automatically When Needed"? When is that anyway?.
