- * X.25 HDLC DATA LINK LEVEL:
- *
- *
- * This module implements the Link Level of the Open Systems Interconnect
- * Model. The implementation is based on the ISO High-Level Data Link
- * Control (HDLC). These procedures subscribe to the principles of the
- * ISO-Class of Procedures for point-to-point. These procedures implement
- * two-way asynchronous balanced mode (LAPB) as recommented by the CCITT.
- *
- * The HDLC protocol layer interface consists of the following procedures:
- * Hd_init (pr_init)
- * Hd_ouput (pr_output)
- * Hd_input (pr_input)
- * Hd_timer (pr_slowtimo)
- *
- * Note: Supervisory commands RR, RNR and REJ are not transmitted by this
- * station.
- *
- * This station never enters a busy (RNR) condition.
- *
- * The "Generate_rr" variable can be set to FALSE. This means that
- * we NEVER send an RR. This works just fine if the network level
- * is X.25 packet protocol -- which it is.
- *
- * Currently, this is only a DTE implementation.
- *
- * Think about:
- * If the remote is busy, no iframes are sent. The remote sends a RR
- * to clear this condition. However, this RR may be damaged, causing
- * a possible deadlock. A solution is to poll with iframe (P(S)==P(R)
- * of RNR) indefinitly.
