caller station id (remotenumber) for pppd

[Igor A Tarasov]

Binary package hint: pptpd

With RADIUS plugin pppd sending Caller-Station-ID attribute to radius server. But it need to know the IP address of caller station. It use information from 'remotenumber' command line option. I created a very small patch, which add the 'remotenumber' command line to pppd command line. Withowt it pppd don't send Caller-Station-ID attribute to server. I already using this path many years at my ISP platform. It working good !
It is very important for ISP to know remote user IP.
Please, consider to include it in distribution (see attached file).
