PPP for RTEMS

[gt6 at beachscene.com (gt bradley)]

Was there ever a WD8013 driver developed,  how hard would it be to upgrade
the WD003 to a WD8013, and does anyone have Info (or pointers to info) on
the software interface for WD8013's  ( I have a several laying around to
play with).

GT
p.s. please keep us informed on the PPP client.
