>Description:
ppp(8) doesn't work when the phone number includes "#"
 and is not embraced with """ in ppp.conf.
It has not been occuered with 4.1R or earlier.

1) all examples of "set phone" in /usr/share/ppp/ppp.conf
  have raw phone numbers without embracement.

2) Manual pages of ppp(8) has an ambiguous example as:
     set phone telno[|backupnumber]...[:nextnumber]...
  without any descriptions that suggest of embracement.

Note:
  The phone number with "#" is used for designation of
 protocols such as "PIAFS" by a Japanese carrier company.
  It may be machine-independed, I think.
>How-To-Repeat:
For examples, 
  including "set phone 1234567##4" in ppp.conf
  ppp doesn't dial to any distinations, "1234567##4"
  or "1234567" .
>Fix:
1) embrace all phone number of examples with """.
  (/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample)
2) clarify that it is needed embracement for
 phone number.

or
1) (same).
2) clarify that "#" in phone number is needed a quotation
 with "\" .
