/*
 * PPP synchronous tty channel driver for Linux.
 *
 * This is a ppp channel driver that can be used with tty device drivers
 * that are frame oriented, such as synchronous HDLC devices.
 *
 * Complete PPP frames without encoding/decoding are exchanged between
 * the channel driver and the device driver.
 * 
 * The async map IOCTL codes are implemented to keep the user mode
 * applications happy if they call them. Synchronous PPP does not use
 * the async maps.

 *
 * This driver provides the encapsulation and framing for sending
 * and receiving PPP frames over sync serial lines.  It relies on
 * the generic PPP layer to give it frames to send and to process
 * received frames.  It implements the PPP line discipline.
 *
 * Part of the code in this driver was inspired by the old async-only
 * PPP driver, written by Michael Callahan and Al Longyear, and
 * subsequently hacked by Paul Mackerras.
