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

 74         The current PPP implementation is very basic, although sufficient
 75         for most wan usages.

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