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?
