[Mark, please correct me if I'm wrong]
I suppose that /dev/ppp has been registered by Mark Spencer, who released a first Generic PPP patch on 19982308. After some discussions with Mark, I took over the development to add Multilink PPP functionality. I added support for synchronous WAN adapters, too.
Did you have a look at my recent post on this list : [PATCH] Generic PPP (highly experimental, long) posted on 19991407 ?
What is your new generic PPP layer ? If our goals are the same, could we look at this together to avoid a lot of duplicate effort ? After all, if those PPPs are really that generic, why should there be two of them lying around ? :-)

Daniel Marmier
