hi, what i meant was: there was an ISO HDLC spec/standard
(where even PPP framing/error-correction was patterned with)
but vendor-specific implementations popped out where cisco
happens to be the 'big' player. since everybody was into cisco,
Cisco-HDLC emerged to be the 'de facto' standard. now,
even Netopia series routers, Sangoma and Cyclades linux
wan cards support Cisco-HDLC for encapsulation.
no more interoperability problems these days =)
