Not such a great idea, since pppd already uses stdin for its ppp connection
in many situations (such as when called by wvdial, as well as for incoming
ppp).
If we could have +ua back, "+ua -" for stdin might not be a bad idea,
assuming the ppp connection is being set up on a different tty.
I've written to the ppp people but I haven't gotten anything back yet.
Sigh...
Have fun,
