The problem I see with this: only syncppp and hdlc protocols can be used
on those devices this way. The comx drivers support lapb thru the lapb
stack, and they have a minimal frame relay support too. This would mean
that different protocols need different initialization stuff, etc... which
would make quite a mess, unless all the possible sync serial protocols are
integrated into the syncppp driver... So I don't think this is a good
idea.
