* Nice Update of PPPD support which eliminates the
	requiremetn that drivers be in the termios TASK_DRIVEN mode.
	Mike did significant testing and reports that it seems to be
	more stable and handle larger packets better.  This patch
	replaces the termios tasks with more general pppd network
	driver tasks.  The functions pppinput() and pppstart() get
	called from the interrupt service routine.

This directory contains a port of ppp-2.3.11. The official site for
the original source for this PPP implementation is:
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp
================================================================
History
The original port was of 2.3.5 by Tomasz Domin <dot@comarch.pl> of
ComArch SA and was initially only tested on the mpc823. He
provided the modem driver as well.
The port was updated to 2.3.11 by Mike Siers <mikes@poliac.com>
who added an example test.
Updated the chat program to return the correct errors and support
the ABORT commands. Removed some dead code and did a lot of
testing on a new Coldfire BSP. Version seems to be very stable.
Update code to use RTEMS pppd network drivers. Now the pppd
software is not dependent on using task driven mode. This
change improved stablity and performance. This was updated
by Mike Siers <mikes@poliac.com>.
