i didn't mean do it in the kernel like linux, i just meant to get some ideas
from how it is done there.

hmm, ok, well where would i find the information i need to do an MPP port of
pppd??

oh, no, i am rather familiar with the sun3 line as i own two of them (not that
they run yet, i need to work on that, speaking of which, anyone know where i
could pick up two si SCSI hosts for a 9U VME cage? [Sun 3/180] i would need
two, and they should be dirt-cheap/free as i can't justify spending any money
on these boxen)

i was just mentioning it in case he was also interested in a cg6 for the sparc
line as i know i can grab one if needed.  just trying to help out. :)
