Re: the developer in me
Once again, I rear my head from the deep, and bring news that I have a version of pppoatm for ver. 2.4.2b1 of pppd, which now almost supports SVCs and limited server capabilities. I was under the impression that I had sent a patch, but the mail seems to still be hanging around in my Drafts folder, so I may have overlooked it. If you are interested in my work, etc, etc...
