Yup, I am keen to find out more about this.

Basically the fix is to remove the asyncmap and escape options from the
call to pppd in /etc/ppp/ppp-on.  It dosn't have any detremental effect
for me at least. :) If others can check this out, I'd be very greatful.

Sounds great!  You should know, though, that portfwd will hopefully be
replaced with a kernel module.  The userspace deamon is nice, but it has
the problem where the remote IP is lost to the forwarded program.  It also
(apparently) has reliability problems, though personally I haven't seen
these.  I hope this dosn't put you off working on it, and I'll definetly
include your poftwd page.
