- I think it's WAMPES release, by Olaf. it has C-SLIP, but no PPP.
- There is a "real" NOS, but I have no idea, whether it works under
- Linux. or not. It has everything - C-SLIP, PPP, AX25, <you name it>...

- Probably it will require a MAJOR effort to port it. [I'm trying to

- somewhere in the middle of something the perfectly filled env buffer
- gets botched and filled with zeroes!! Damn! :-]

- Maybe you could just add PPP to it? Taking the PPP source (about 5 files)
- from NOS? Then there will be no reason to fight'n'port all the other
- noses (:-).
