YES, I'm using it. (Me too, me too, ... :-) I see 2 `standard' applications: 1) `fixed' point-to-point connection -- like I'm using right now from home to our institute -- if you are lucky to have the same configuration on both sides. (This is certainly of interest to companys with a few offices located far apart.) 2) dynamic syncPPP or X.75 conections -- like our computer center offers. With the growing popularity (and falling prices :-) things became interesting to John and Jane Doe to connect to thier providers. (is/was being worked on, to my knowledge.) Moreover, I like to use my computer as an answering machine.
