yeah, sorry, i should have verified i got the polarity right.

i'm doing this one 4.0-stable, and what you are saying is that it should work.
i have not been able to get it going with openssh, without the hack.
is there some incantation of ssh i'm not aware of where i can do something
like:
ssh -h remhost --local-exec "/usr/sbin/pppd" --remote-exec "/usr/sbin/pppd"
otherwise, how do you escape using something like pty-redir?

i poked about awfulhak.org and don't really get the reference.
