  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.
