Check the addendum to ISO3309 (HDLC Frame Format).  It specifies a new 
asynchronous flavor of HDLC.  (It's also spec'd for PPP.) 

Async HDLC uses a flag value, byte stuffing for transparency, and also 
frogs one bit of "control" values (preceded by an escape) as required by 
some devices.  I don't know if it is IS yet or still DIS.

 alone a multi-billion dollar corporation?
