It is a "streams-like" system I have modules that do the following: ppp framing frame relay (two modes) cisco HDLC BSD interface emulation (simulates a tun interface kindof) socket node (any thing that hits it comes out a socket that can be read) Tee node (for debugging) black-hole echo sync-card driver several people have looked a thte code but it will be coming up for full public release in a few months. till then it's 'limitted release' (you ask, I give you a copy) ) :)
