   Does anybody have a version of SLIP or PPP with SLFP (Serial Line
   Framing Protocol) support in it?  Merit ... does SLFP.

Is SLFP HDLC?  If not, is SLFP documented in a readily-accessible
place?  RFC1171 (section 3) specifies that PPP uses HDLC-style framing
unless LCP negotiates otherwise.  Is it PPP if it's not basically
HDLC?
