Mark,
I know you said that this is just the way "you did it";
Is there a good reason as to why you did it this way (other than probably
the code being smaller)?
In particular with the Multi-PPP, how does it provide an advantage?
You mention some relationship between the channels for MPPP; i just dont
think that exists today;
Mind to comment please
(and whether moving to the socket interface will screw this grand scheme
of things)
cheers
