[openbeosnetteam] How to do PPP?

so, I've stared playing and have discovered some useful stuff. I even have
PPP working over my aserial device and have the start of a ppp module, but
is this the right way to do it???

Looking at the various unix models they have a userland controlling process.
pppd in some cases or just ppp in others. should we be trying to emulate the
way they do things? Not if it's not the way we want to go. I don't have
strong feelings, but can't quite get my mind round some of the issues with
how to start/stop ppp and how we control it once it's running if we have a
kernel based ppp solution.

Anyone have any thoughts?

BTW, Nathan you did say you had a pppoe solution but so far we haven't seen
any code from it? Can you make it available or shall we carry on reinventing
the wheel?

BTW, OpenBSD and FreeBSD have a pppoe server/client that I should be able to
use for testing of pppoe :) They manage it by using the bpf device, which I
don't really think is a good idea and I'd like to do it differently.
