Only that the pppd in 6.0 is version 2.3, whereas 5.3 had version 2.2.
There are quite a few changes in the way the different versions work.
Unfortunately the manpage I have here (after upgrading) seems to still
be the one for pppd 2.2. Anyway, one thing I had to change in my options
file was replacing -ipx-protocol with noipx. The first version which was
correct for 2.2 causes 2.3 to stop in its tracks.
Beyond that I can only say that I use the X-ISP dialer, which works
around the differences internally.
