We had planned to contribute our eCosPro PPP stack by the end of last 
month but it failed release testing against anoncvs.  Hence it was 
passed back to Nick (who did the port).  The additional delay was 
because Nick was in the US giving an eCos course at ESCW so did not have 
time to investigate the problems.

Nick is now responsible for testing, fixing problems found so it should 
appear in anoncvs any day now.
