Hmmm, that's not an easy to question to answer quickly.
"Things are happening slowly" would be one appropriate response.

The last object code archive is 3.0d4.
The last source code archive (incomplete) is 3.0d5.
The last complete source code in the CVS repository is 3.0d6.
There are some additions in CVS that will be part of 3.0d7.

I would really like to see a release of an object code archive for
everyone's benefit. However a release would be pointless while there
appear to be issues with stability. See other threads regarding MacIP,
TCP/IP and Appletalk for more discussion.

Try reading the "Latest News" from the MOSP site

Almost certainly. Any crash into SysFail with an "Unsupported LCP
code" indicates that the PPP link layer does not support the
negotiation options required by the Host and the Host is terminating
the Link Layer negotiation. This is definately caused by the Host
requesting CHAP authentication.
