Half? I doubt it. The only valid PPP traces for a PM that aren't in there
are MP issues. Those will be in the next rev - we didn't do MP when the
manual was done. You may get stuff dumped out that isn't there that we
don't support - like MS DUN crap.

I had never seen a PPP debug the first time I did one at Livingston and all
I knew about PPP was that it wasa bidirectional negotiated protocol. I had
the internal precursor to Chapter 19 (the doc didn't exist yet) and it only
took me a couple of tries to work it out. Anyone familiar with packet
data - fields and length - should be able ot figure it out I would think.
