I have not heard of any, but if someone has access to a PPP that makes use of raw sockets with the BSD low level socket interface or something similar, maybe there's a way to hook this to the kernel. Alas, the streams interface in A/UX is not the SysV.3 one, so there could be some problems if someone tries to write a streams module for PPP, also the TCP/IP protocols are not implemented as streams modules so you can't push the PPP module in as part of the low level behaviour of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Otherwise PPP looks great on the specs. Has any universities out there done any PPP implementations for any of the UNIX kernels?

Well.. the original PPP code (that the streams stuff is based on) was written by Drew Perkins of CMU and was for more or less generic 4.3 kernels (eg no streams) for a Vax 11/780. The sources up for anonymous ftp on lancaster.andrew.cmu.edu in pub/ppp/ppp.shar Cheers, mark
