Description Nicolas Kaiser 2002-10-22 14:20:44 UTC 
There appear to be people who need hdlc for their adsl connections.
I got my one working as described here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/speedtouch/speedtouch/doc-linux/howto/SpeedTouch-HOWTO-en.html?rev=1.3

The HowTo says it's necessary to add hdlc to etc/modules.conf, do you think it
would be a good idea to do this by default in net-dialup/ppp? Here comes the patch:

seems a fair enough idea to me.

I'm really a ppp newbie - and i dont have the hardware to test it.
Assigning this to hannes.
