-CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION

-- The kernel debug value has changed. Previously it was a level. It is now
-  a bit map with various bits meaning certain types of debug information.
-
-     0 - No debug information is generated
-     1 - Debug messages
-     2 - Log incoming packets
-     4 - Log outgoing packets
-     8 - Log tty output buffers
-    16 - Log tty input buffers
-
-  If you wish to use any combination, add the values together. For example,
-  '7' will log debug messages and incoming packages and outgoing packets.
-
-  The default setting is 0.
-
-  The simple IP trace which ppp.c performed when 'kdebug' was greater than
-  127 has been removed. You should use tcpdump for this type of trace
-  actions.
-
-- Support is added for compression control protocol. At the present time
-  the BSD-Compress and 'deflate' compression protocols are supported. A
-  testing version of the predictor-1 compression protocol was developed but
-  it is not included in this package due to unfortunate Motorola patent
-  considerations.
