I'm not aware of such a tool for PPP, but there is one for SLIP: 
SLiRP. Basically, you dial in, make a terminal connection, preferably
make that connection 8-bit clean, and start a daemon on the remote
system. 

Check out /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Dip+SLiRP+CSLIP.gz (doc-linux package).

Hope this helps,
