It probably isn't too difficult. I think what you would have to do is
find the bits of code that read and write to the interface and instead
read and write to the frog.
I think it would only be necessary to modify the file if.c (maybe together
with some of main() where it reads the options), in particular
openInterface, sendPacket and receivePacket.
If people already have a working connection and can dump the data going
over the usb link and the ppp link then it should be fairly straight
forward to make it all match.
Note that the rp code is single threaded and uses select to test if a
descriptor is readable or writable. It would probably be necessary
to turn this into two threads unless there is a way to do a select
or equivalent on the USB connection.
Regards,
Tim.
