Re: Unsupported protocols??

["Jens B. Jorgensen" <jjorgens@bdsinc.com>]

Some kinda error I'd guess. I took a look at the assigned numbers RFC and the only one
of those defined is 0x7f and its:

007f            reserved (compression inefficient)    [RFC1662]

I'm thinking there must've been some sort of corruption of the data. This shouldn't
happen though since the ppp frames FCS should've discarded any corrupted frame which
is received. Very odd.
