The PPP spec for synchronous mode calls for PPP packets to be put
in an HDLC frame.  We always use a 16-bit CRC.  Bill mentioned
that the Sun T-1 rate card defaults to 32-bit CRC, so this should
be adjusted, although I agree with him that a mismatch on 16 vs.
32 bit CRC's should show up as both systems seeing only CRC
errors.
