Is there a fundamental reason why SLIP is not supported by the eCos net
package?
eCosCentric has a PPP implementation. SLIP seems to be mostly dead
with PPP taking its place.
There is also another PPP implementation, look in the mail
archives. It did not make it into anoncvs because it appeared at the
time that eCosCentric code would get into anoncvs relatively
quickly. But that didn't happen at the time. I don't know what there
plans are now. Maybe Alex can comment.
We had planned to contribute our eCosPro PPP stack by the end of last
month but it failed release testing against anoncvs. Hence it was
passed back to Nick (who did the port). The additional delay was
because Nick was in the US giving an eCos course at ESCW so did not have
time to investigate the problems.
Nick is now responsible for testing, fixing problems found so it should
appear in anoncvs any day now.
