Async mode is a pppd mode where we don't need hdlc anymore, this is useful
if you want not to patch your <2.4.18 kernel. Look at the
doc-linux/adsl.ppp-peersample for more details to activate this mode correctly.

But this code uses more cpu as it has to "translate" the ascii stream coming
from pppd. This code has been included in pppoa3 because Tim had experienced
some problems with some URLs and tested if it could be able to solve the
problem. As he coded this mode, why not include it ? :-) Just in case someone
needs it.
