Don't undersell it :-) Blatant MMDF plug. It also supports authorisation by
channel. This is useful if you have "free" links and "paying" links or you
happen to have a few international modem links that you don't want people
to use as gateways. As you say the real advantage is human-readable
configs. There also seem to be fewer buggy versions around.
