Well, that's good to know, thanks.

Well.  It looks like I shall have to modify my plans.  It's better that way anyway I 
guess.

Now my order of attack is
1.  Get it working.
      This involves initial testing in Windows, but I know Windows and the drivers are 
written for Windows.
2.  Get it working on LRP.  I'm not sure what image I'll use for that yet.
3.  Get the ppp over ssh working, I'm hoping that that won't take to long.

4.  Write it up!  Everything in one place.  Right now, there are elements of the 
design EVERYWHERE.  Antenea's there, card mods here, etc.

-just added 
5.  IPSec.
    What is the overhead of the ipsec tunnel?

6.  Re-write.

Heck, I'd be doing it this weekend, but I'm going out of town, I'm so conflicted.  :)
