Re: [Pppext] Advancing PPP RFCs to Standard, updating Security

[Donald Eastlake <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback thus far on security. Further feedback welcome.

I may have overstated our AD's interest in advancing PPP standards,
Brian is perhaps closer to neutral on the idea.

Thanks,
Donald
