I know what ppp is, I'm just curious because I first wasn't aware 
of anything /useful/ that ppp could do on s390. Now that I tought
about it, it might be the only way to tunnel Appletalk or IPX
through a qeth link. It would be really interesting to hear 
how well this works, especially w.r.t performance, or if there
are other problems that Rod is solving with ppp.
