Hmm... It was my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that CCP
compression is not included in the kernel because of slightly technical
and massively legal reasons. There is some sort of copyright?
And there is a document (correct me if I'm wrong) in the ppp (external
driver) source tree giving a good, long explanation of this.
