Certainly not a big deal for Linux, but more significant for vendors of HDLC hardware :-) David Miller wrote: > I would have been more than happy if syncppp was retained and fixed > properly, instead of being abandoned and duplicated in one fell swoop. I'd be happy with that also. I was responding to the suggestion of merging generic HDLC PPP with the pppd implementation. It's been suggested before, but doing so looks messy.

From what I can tell it was an existing investment in scripts, training, tools, naming conventions, etc. Even when provided with new tools and scripts that do the same thing (as far as I could tell) the response was suprisingly vehement against change. -- Paul --
