I've been adding protocols to the kernel
and I've been looking for a way to make them loadable..
it still needs a little work, but I've got some ideas..
(the protocol registers itself and how to recognise packets for it..)

BTW
talk to ecsd@ecsd.com (should work)
about frame relay etc..
he's trying to work out what to use......
