* Nice Update of PPPD support which eliminates the requiremetn that drivers be in the termios TASK_DRIVEN mode. Mike did significant testing and reports that it seems to be more stable and handle larger packets better. This patch replaces the termios tasks with more general pppd network driver tasks. The functions pppinput() and pppstart() get called from the interrupt service routine. * Makefile.am, configure.ac, net/Makefile.am, net/bpf.h, net/ethernet.h, net/if.c, net/if.h, net/if_arp.h, net/if_dl.h, net/if_ethersubr.c, net/if_llc.h, net/if_loop.c, net/if_ppp.h, net/if_pppvar.h, net/if_types.h, net/netisr.h, net/ppp-comp.h, net/ppp_defs.h, net/pppcompress.h, net/radix.c, net/radix.h, net/raw_cb.c, net/raw_cb.h, net/raw_usrreq.c, net/route.c, net/route.h, net/rtsock.c, pppd/Makefile.am, pppd/README, pppd/STATUS, pppd/auth.c, pppd/cbcp.c, pppd/ccp.c, pppd/ccp.h, pppd/chap.c, pppd/chap.h, pppd/chap_ms.c, pppd/chap_ms.h, pppd/chat.c, pppd/demand.c, pppd/fsm.c, pppd/fsm.h, pppd/ipcp.c, pppd/ipcp.h, pppd/ipxcp.c, pppd/ipxcp.h, pppd/lcp.c, pppd/lcp.h, pppd/magic.c, pppd/magic.h, pppd/options.c, pppd/patchlevel.h, pppd/pathnames.h, pppd/pppd.8, pppd/pppd.h, pppd/rtemsmain.c, pppd/rtemspppd.c, pppd/rtemspppd.h, pppd/sys-rtems.c, pppd/upap.c, pppd/upap.h, pppd/utils.c, pppd/example/README, pppd/example/netconfig.h, wrapup/Makefile.am: Modified. * net/bsd-comp.c, net/if_ppp.c, net/ppp-deflate.c, net/ppp.h, net/ppp_tty.c, net/pppcompress.c, net/zlib.c, net/zlib.h: New file. * modem/, modem/.cvsignore, modem/Makefile.am, modem/ppp.c, modem/ppp.h, modem/ppp_tty.c, modem/pppcompress.c: Subdirectory removed.

Updated the chat program to return the correct errors and support
the ABORT commands. Removed some dead code and did a lot of
testing on a new Coldfire BSP. Version seems to be very stable.

+Update code to use RTEMS pppd network drivers. Now the pppd
+software is not dependent on using task driven mode. This
+change improved stablity and performance. This was updated
