There has been some talk about whether mpd should be put in the base
system to replace our 3 other ppp implementations. I guess one step
would be to see what the usage cases would be for replacing if_ppp and
sppp and a first step
would be to see how many users of these there are.

As I see situation now:
ppp - good user-level implementation. Not very fast, but stable,
flexible and able to be used with other programs like pppoed.
pppd - outdated many years. In theory can be fast with modem links,
but who need them now? If used with other programs like poptop will
loose it's performance to ppp level due to context switches.
sppp - outdated too, but I have never used it. Is there anything
except ISDN using it? In my country ISDN is mostly out of use now.
mpd - very fast and functional solution. But it is a daemon with
limited abilities to be used by other software like getty or some
wrappers like pppoed for ppp or GUIs like kppp.

There are also some ppp(d)-based programs in tree, like rfcomm_pppd
(bluetooth modem connection), which behave like ppp/pppd.

just one more notice
