Numerous structural changes to improve robustness.
- Use a separate RestoreThread to apply saved settings. Hold off opening any TCP/IP endpoint for 15 seconds (FBA version).
- Wait for routes data to stabilize before configuring routes (pause 1 second, check if PPP is connecting and wait for it to finish, update routes data from IP module and repeat if report will not fit buffer).
- Log each time DNS deferral is enabled or disabled.
- Make PPP retry delay a configurable option (PPPRetryDelay=5). Default to 5 seconds.
- Extend data buffer cushion for reading routes from 512 to 2048 bytes.
- Allow launching a PPP connection from the "kPPPLowerLayerDownEvent" state.
- When PPP connects, wait to get a DNS address before setting up DNS forwarding.
- Log if no DNS address available when trying to set up DNS forwarding, or forwarding a local DNS query.
- Do not try to restore interfaces if program is quiting.
- Make DNS forwarding default to on when #addOnly and no previous setting.
- Make use of NSL (Network Services Location protocol) a configurable option as STR# 131 (UseNSL=0). Default to off at this time.
- Report actual OT error if unable to read current Interfaces or Routes data during restore. Continue with restore since new settings are "#addOnly".
