If it really does turn out that the kernel-mode > ppp interface is poorly implemented, I could probably be talked > into trying to make it better, especially since I'm stuck with a ppp-only I'm sort of inclined to say that the user-mode ppp is really the way to go, and any attempts to improve ppp support in general would probably be better directed there. Having something that works seamlessly for dial-on-demand, generates proper debugging information, do proper integrated dialing and supports advanced features like predictor-1 compression is so far superior to what's provided by pppd that I can't see any reason to use anything else now.
