	  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?

   SLFP is another way of encapsulating IP on serial lines that is neither SLIP
   nor PPP.  It has never been written up in an RFC, and if anything exists
   besides the source code, it is probably an internal MIT LCS document (John?
   Jerry?).

Uh, I think it was described in an appendix of the PC/IP programmer's
manual ("MIT IBM PC TCP/IP PC/IP Programmer's Manual" or something
like that with too many acronyms in it). I don't have a copy anymore.
