There is already some hacking on PPP in my port, which could lead to some confusion, as it is not identical to the lwIP codebase. Also it does only work in a polled environment like mine, so it might not be much use of the broad community. I don't know how we should proceed with this? > What is the status of your testing of your lwIP 1.3.x port now?

But I could only test on the synthetic target as my hardware lacks ethernet support. Some broader testing on real hardware would be great. I'll merge the latest changes from the lwip 1.3.1 release and make a new release for review and testing. Simon
