Concur.  I'd go further than that, my code usually made room for at least
a full MTU (MRU) with HDLC escaping.  To minimize context switches, that
should be 3014 ((1500 MRU + 2 FCS + 4 header) * 2 escapes + 2 flags).

Even in the old days, when memory was tight, context switches and interrupt
time were more expensive, too.  PPP is supposed to scale to OC-192.
