Hiya,

is anybody using the cx(4) (Cronyx HDLC) driver, together with sync
PPP?

I plan to reuse Serge Vakulenko's sync PPP layer (/sys/net/if_sppp*)
for PPP over ISDN.  I will shortly commit a first change that improves
the debug output, and plan to add further improvements.  If anybody is
using it on cx(4) (where it has originally been written for), i would
like to hear from you so to make sure i don't break this.

Before you're asking: the sppp layer has a clear API towards the HDLC
layer, and ISDN is basically in the same boat as the cx(4) hardware
HDLC here, so this makes sppp much more attractive than the existing
(async) kernel ppp.  I've already got it talk LCP (though they still
don't negotiate successfully), and this was with about one day of
work.

cheers, J"org
