Just one more thing:

If I remember correctly, sending two PADIs in quick succession
was ppp's "normal" behaviour for *years* now (is it expected or
required by the protocol? I don't know). I've always wondered
why it was so. But that didn't cause any harm as it seemed one
of the two PADO was picked up and eventually turned into a session.
