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.
