-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have put the uploaded the 2.2.0e version of pppd to the archive site
at sunsite.unc.edu. The other mirror sites should have it at the period
when they perform their mirror copies.

The file for the 'final' resting place on sunsite is
/pub/Linux/system/Network/serial/ppp-2.2.0e.tar.gz.

The changes from the 2.2.0d version are best described as follows:

1. Corrected a problem with the chat program which I introduced in the
   2.2.0d version. It failed to recognize the string -- as being a null
   sub-reply string.

2. The flags for the proxy ARP were not being properly set when the ARP
   entry was deleted from the system.

This version is not significantly different than the 2.2.0d version, unless
you had these problems. I would not classify this as a 'must have' upgrade
unless you don't have the 2.2.0d version. The primary purpose for this
release is to re-identify the current package since there were several
versions identified as '2.2.0d' previously released.

The LSM entry is included below.

                This version is designed to work with the 2.2.0 version
