Re: [lwip-users] Status of PPP implementation

[Jacob Dall]

Hello Peter,

One of the reasons I'm going for PPP is because of it's auto-negotiating 
feature. To my knowledge SLIP has no such feature, and I think that's a 
need-to-have. I definitely want my highly embedded system to be able to fetch 
an IP of it's own. 

Maybe I've missed something!?


Thanks,
Jacob Dall
