Ok, well if I were to netgraphify the ATM code, would mpd be sufficient to get PPP over ATM working? (I have a lot of reading up to do, but if I can decide on the correct direction to start off in I could save myself alot of time ;)). And for the record I have done ethernet drivers in Linux and OS/2. But I am quite unfamiliar with the FreeBSD networking code. I have only submitted patches to the kernel for cyrix code optimizations. :) I looked into netgraph and it seems to be a very modular and a wise approach to take if it sufficient for this purpose.
