 61         The syncppp drivers in Linux provide a fairly complete 
 62         implementation of Cisco HDLC and a minimal implementation of
 63         PPP. The longer term goal is to switch the PPP layer to the
 64         generic PPP interface that is new in Linux 2.3.x. The API should
 65         remain unchanged when this is done, but support will then be
 66         available for IPX, compression and other PPP features

 76         The current PPP implementation is very basic, although sufficient
 77         for most wan usages.

 84         Currently we do not end all packets with the correct Cisco multicast
 85         or unicast flags. Nothing appears to mind too much but this should
 86         be corrected.
