5The pppd application seems to very stable.  It has been tested using
6the example application with the i386/pc586 and m68k/sbc5206e BSPs.
7The tests were executed using a null modem serial cable to connect
8with a UNIX box running either the ppp or pppd application and with
9an external modem to dial up a local ISP.

11If you have problems getting your target to make consistent connections
12with an ISP, the problem is most likely with the ppp options.  First
13try using the "novj" and "noaccomp" options.  If you have questions
14about what other option values are available for the rtems_pppd_set_option
15function, please look at the pppd.8 man page file or the the source code.
16The majority of options that are documented in man page should work
17with this function call.

19The pppd application requires the BSP termios driver support task
20driven I/O.  Below is a list of known issues that need to be resolved:
21
22  - pppd locks up when it receives large packet pings (> 1500 bytes)
23  - pppd occasionaly locks up with mbuf allocation error
24    (problem is rare and may be BSP related)

26If you find any other problems or fix some problems, please post your
27changes to the RTEMS mailing list.

29Good Luck
