This would explain the substantial PPP-related changes in your code comparison. It was always the intention to migrate to the official lwIP PPP sources over time. Ref: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2010-01/msg00057.html As with all imports, it is important to minimise changes to the upstream code as far as possible. That way, future imports become much easier. John Dallaway eCos maintainer http://www.dallaway.org.uk/john
