Yes. eql, ppp, slhc and ip_alias are currently modules.

Standard serial driver (2 x 2016's).
IMHO the setserial with multiport support (2.12) should be pushed as
standard. I've been using it for almost 2(?) years now. Every vendor seems
to still be shipping 2.10.

Does the static limit on ppp devices still exist with ppp compiled into
the kernel? This is mainly why I compiled it as a module. We have 32
ports on one box and 64 on another.

Yes, but isn't there *any* way to get debugging info from modules? :-/
