	 I understand that cisco has committed to having synchronous PPP in its
	 routers for a near-future release.  

	 1.  How about async PPP in its terminal servers?

	 2.  Do other cisco users feel strongly about having it in soon?

	 3.  Are there still stumbling blocks, undefined areas, etc, that would
	     make an async PPP implementation difficult or impossible?

We very much want to see async PPP in the server.

If you had it, how would you use it, eg. does async PPP currently
exist in any of the public domain or commercial TCP/IP packages for
PCs or Macs?  Until those support async PPP, I don't see much point
for Cisco to implement it in their servers.

Now that the status of PPP has been elevated, it's time to get some
implementations in the field. It's never going to happen if every vendor waits
until it is more widely avauiilable before implementing it. ANd I have seen one
BSD implementation that I could probably get for my systems quite easily.
