I'm currently developing/debugging a TCP/IP/PPP stack (not for the PC) and I've 
noticed that Demon equipment is inconsistent in its requests for a PPP ACCM.  
(Both 0x000A0000 and 0xFFFFFFFF are asked for in different connections.)

Is anyone aware of the Demon policy on ACCM?  0x000A0000 seems a sensible choice,   
but 0xFFFFFFFF would add a significant overhead (though only to transmissions 
from the client)

I would have thought that the choice of ACCM was a matter of policy, and would 
therefore be consistent across all equipment.  (The issue seems independent of 
the ROMP connected to.)

Cheers,

Will
