+The pppd application seems to very stable. It has been tested using
+the example application with the i386/pc586 and m68k/sbc5206e BSPs.
+The tests were executed using a null modem serial cable to connect
+with a UNIX box running either the ppp or pppd application and with
+an external modem to dial up a local ISP.
+
+If you have problems getting your target to make consistent connections
+with an ISP, the problem is most likely with the ppp options. First
+try using the "novj" and "noaccomp" options. If you have questions
+about what other option values are available for the rtems_pppd_set_option
+function, please look at the pppd.8 man page file or the the source code.
+The majority of options that are documented in man page should work
+with this function call.
+
+The pppd code had now been updated to use it's own RTEMS network
+drivers. This removes the requirement for the task driven termios
+support. This update has fixed the large packet ping problem.
+Currently, I do not know of any problems with the port.
+
+If you find any other problems or fix some problems, please post your
+changes to the RTEMS mailing list.
+
+Good Luck
