Generic HDLC layer
+==================

Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl>
Generic HDLC layer currently supports:
+
1. Frame Relay (ANSI, CCITT, Cisco and no LMI)
+
- Normal (routed) and Ethernet-bridged (Ethernet device emulation)
interfaces can share a single PVC.
- ARP support (no InARP support in the kernel - there is an
experimental InARP user-space daemon available on:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/hdlc/).
+
2. raw HDLC - either IP (IPv4) interface or Ethernet device emulation
3. Cisco HDLC
4. PPP
