AT+PPP new command request

[frob]

Simply, this command should reply OK, stop the AT command interface, and start lwIP PPP protocol (built-in) on the same serial port, using existing UART settings.
lwIP should be setup to forward /route packets between PPP <->WiFi .
One would expect to first set appropriate UART baud rate, handshaking etc. prior to issuing AT+PPP.
An optional parameter to specify a different serial port (UART2?) might be useful later, but not something i need now;
- if this is specified to be a different UART than the one used by AT command interface, then obviously the latter should stay available.

This would be a very elegant and simple solution to allow my product design to use ESP8266, as it has a large complex codebase currently using socket network interface on lwIP natively, so using AT+ commands in place of sockets is not a practical solution at this time.

I'm certain many others would also find this a very useful feature!

Thanks!

Hi @frob,

Do you had archived anything in this way?

Just to share, in a hight level architecture, i'm looking a way to change an existent Ethernet solution (FRDM-K64F) to Wi-Fi, without changing already socket-based implementation.
