This was for a friend, who was whining about the fact that the OR-HS didn't
do HDLC and how crappy PPP was, etc etc etc... I just felt like smax0ring
him but he lives 1200 miles away, and he opened his wallet up $1k to buy a
router card *just* because he'd feel more elite (and larger in some
respect) if he got a "phat router card that supports these 3r33t pr0t0c0lz
like HDLC"
Bleh - I'd just like to see multi-megabit stac chips that worked well :)
