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