The PPP vs HDLC topic flares up every once in awhile on comp.dcom.sys.cisco.
A Google search should turn up lots of reading on the subject.

Since the topic exploded, what are your opinions on encapsulation of leased
line DS3s.  We currently use Frame Relay for out Point to Point DS3
connections.  Personally, I don't know why we use FR as our encapsulation,
and so the question to all.  If you are running Cisco to Cisco, would it be
wise to run HDLC or PPP?  Our DS3s' here are hardly maxed out, 15% or so, so
I'm not complaining about the few extra bits I can squeeze out them but
maybe that 15% can shrink to 10% with less overhead.  Opinions or examples
of life appreciated.
