[openbeosnetteam] Re: How to do PPP?

OK. Still need the comms method, but that's slightly less important than
getting it to work in hte first place :)

I'll try to commit what I have, but be aware that the serial_ppp module I
have is really only intended for development and testing :)

Also, still need to actually get on with the state machine for lcp. This
stuff is harder to figure out than the regular ethernet!
