Well, this is what it looks like without my pppd asyncmap set to 0x0000000:
Async Map: L:00000000 R:ffffffff 00000000
When I set it to 0x0000000, i get this:
Async Map: L:00000000 R:00000000 00000000
So obviously it had an effect for Receive async maps and isn't bogus.
I'm guessing 0x000000 is mask all, and 0xfffffff is mask none.
