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 |

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. |
