Thinking of rawip stuff and small disks, I'd change this to

isdnutils      contains the basic stuff: hisaxctrl, isdnctrl, iprofd
ipppd          contains ipppd

Uhmm, at least I'm voting for seperate init.d scripts for device setup,
ipppd, isdnlog, iprofd, ... Those ipppd and device scripts should use *one*
shared configfile for all devices. The current sheme is incapable of coping
with mppp setup in an elegant way and it makes it so damned hard
to keep the overview over several different setups.

I have alternative scripts, but they aren't that perfect yet. In addition
there are scripts in in ip-{up,down} which reuse the shared configfile to
reset interfaces to the desired settings.

Oh, and my packetfilter is going to use this configfile, too.

Hmm, how about splitting vbox into vbox-{client,server}, too?
