I've had a quick look at it - a few interesting things:

In the PPP/PAP processing, there's a substitution of a pullup() for 
dqdata() - the former call copies data from a mbuf and then adjusts 
the buffer, the latter just copies; might be the fix for ISDN but I'm 
not so sure since the mbuf is discarded within the particular function 
anyway ...

In the PPP packet handling, there's an extra call to pwait(NULL) after 
routeing a packet - this is commented as improving performance for 
"slower" machines and prevents incoming data from eating the 
processing time allowing other processes to run - I wonder if this is 
the fix for the problems with large incoming mails discussed earlier? 

The UART support has a different implementation of CTS flow control -
I'm wondering if I can figure out why the Demon version doesn't
correctly report it with my modem ...

Oh, and there's support for 32 bit instructions so it can be compiled 
with -3 and get a bit more performance on a 386+.

Cheers, Graham.
