I have a puzzle with regard to "configd" daemon and PPP. It works OK - no
problem there - but there's a puzzling piece I need to understand better.
When PPP is dialed-up (using standard Apple internal modem) there's a UDP
socket generated by configd once each second. I don't yet have details on
what data, if any, might be sent or received and I'm about to look into
that. But it creates and closes the socket once each second.

Any ideas, anyone??
Looking through the PPP source, one obvious place where this might be
coming from is the PPP stats ioctl. If you issue a PPP_STATUS
request to PPP, it gets the stats by opening a UDP socket and sending
a SIOCGPPPSTATS ioctl to it. See the ppp_status function in the
following file.
