Hi!

Sorry for the slow replies!

I had something like interrupts(like Blaz Antonic suggested) in mind instead of polling. 

I was also wondering what would happen if packets came in faster than we can process. Will i lose
the packets.When I tested the PPP code in Linux before trying it on ELKS, I somehow seemed to be
getting empty frames etc. The same code when complied for ELKS worked fine. I am not sure what the
problem was. 

I don't think the options negotiated in the LCP are 'do and forget'. I think the link properties
need to stored. pppd could just negotiate options, store and exit. The network layer specific NCP
could then take over but I am not sure where it goes. If its in the kernel, how should i go about
it?

Thanks,
Pooja
