That's kinda why it was a question for the future. ;-)

I guess we'll have to wait. Though given how netatalk works (keeping
just ddp in the kernel), I'm wondering if most of these problems will
be fixed in netatalk's userland code, not in the kernel bits.  Thus 
though usefull ppp will have to wait, atalk-ppp in the kernel won't
necessarily have to wait. though it'll be a while before I can try it.
:-)

Take care,
