I've done a tad more research (via Lycos) and found that it is indeed 
possible that the Compression Control Protocol (CCP) of PPP is patented 
by Motorola.  I've not seen any followup, but I've not spent months 
looking either...

Just FYI I tend to gather information about stuff I'm working on into a 
Web page; in this case 

	http://www.newell.arlington.va.us/~mike/ppp/ppp.html

Flames not necessary; these are basically my working notes.  But there 
ARE detailed references to Predictor-1 that may be of use to others... :-)

Thanks,

Mike
