Oke that explains a lot to me.
About being more specific: The company mentor would like me to explain more about the implementation
of the PPP functionality from LwIP. But that is kind of difficult since I'm not able to figure the code out myself.
So sorry, but at the moment I'm affraid I can't formulate a
question that is more specific. But thanks for the reply though!

The comment in the source- and headerfiles (lwip/src/netif/ppp.c and lwip/src/netif/ppp.h) made it clear to me that it was a copy from
the BSD unixes. I'll just have to talk to my mentor about it, and ask what he wants to know exactly.
Yet again, thanks for you replies.
By the way, for all of jou that are interessted: I've been busy developing a statemachine based FTP server with LwIP. Sourcefiles will be available
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lwftp/ as soon as I have time to test the basic functionality like loggin
on.
