Perhaps I should write "dial-up" and other non-fixed connections.
It's complex, I think kernel interface to generic HDLC would mean more code than PPP implementation required for fixed lines. Additional requirement - userspace daemon with additional plugin - may not be the best thing for fixed lines either.
That would break backward compatibility, too.
Personally I think it could be acceptable but it's not for me to decide. -- Krzysztof Halasa
