ppp(8) doesn't work when the phone number includes "#" and is not embraced with """ in ppp.conf. It has not been occuered with 4.1R or earlier. 1) all examples of "set phone" in /usr/share/ppp/ppp.conf have raw phone numbers without embracement. 2) Manual pages of ppp(8) has an ambiguous example as: set phone telno[|backupnumber]...[:nextnumber]... without any descriptions that suggest of embracement. Note: The phone number with "#" is used for designation of protocols such as "PIAFS" by a Japanese carrier company. It may be machine-independed, I think. Fix: 1) embrace all phone number of examples with """. (/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample) 2) clarify that it is needed embracement for phone number. or 1) (same). 2) clarify that "#" in phone number is needed a quotation with "\" . How-To-Repeat: For examples, including "set phone 1234567##4" in ppp.conf ppp doesn't dial to any distinations, "1234567##4" or "1234567" .
