Sorry Waldemar (and all team as a whole), I'm having some 
girlfriend pregnancy issue, and not really focusing on OpenBeOS right now...
Hopefully, this will come to an end, called Thomas, soon :-)

I gave a look at the headers, looks like a good start, but I'm worrying 
about how you will interface these classes with the current stack modules API, 
which are very lowest level.
Beware too that, according to Axel Dorfler, inheritage in kernel land may or 
may not works, depends on... Axel mood ;-)

Drop it, please. PPPInterface class name make far better sense.

Well according to OpenBeos develop chart, yes.
However, nobody will throw away your work only because it doesn't follow this 
stylme guideline.

Obviously !
Don't drop you work just because the current team leader seem to be wapor.
Do backup of your code often, and share it.
Do you have an idea already on how you can interface with current stack code?
I may find old ppp/dialup code, lost in the move under /current tree, maybe 
it can help you to see how to merge your work with the current stack.

And, please, don't focus too much on PPP serving support. R1 target is to offer 
dialup client support in priority...

Keep doing good work.
