Has anyone tried testing the cisco gateway synchronous PPP implementation
against that done for the Sun by Torben Nielsen? We (Sun and BARRNet) have
found that the two interoperate without problem using 56KB lines but do not
work at all using a T-1 line. When we tried connecting the two over a T-1
line, the Sun end sees a CRC error for every packet that the cisco sends while
the cisco sees nothing in return. Can someone describe the T1 PPP framing used
by the cisco implementation? Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

	Thanks,
