No, we don't.
Beside, except SLIP, I don't even know other non-PPP DUNs...
But it'll have the benefit to:
- *resolve* our current "ppp interface manager" module naming *issue*:
No more two "ppp" called subfolders under src/add-ons/kernel/network/*,
but network/ppp/* for all PPP related stuffs and
network/interfaces/dialup (or dun) for the Dial Up network interfaces
manager module.
- add a higher abstraction level between the stack interfaces manager
and
our soon PPP interfaces manager and any future
- make Dial On Demand, Auto-Retry & Disconnect on Idle features
available for any kind of
dial up protocols, starting with PPP obviously
But, maybe it's PPP that is more abstrack that "Dial Up Networking"
concept...
Waldemar?
