I think that you should look at ppptcp - it allows for ppp sessions over tcp
connections, with or without encryption. I don't remember where I picked it
up, I think it may have been on sunsite... The filename is ppptcp-0_5_tar.gz,
if you can't find it (with ftpsearch or some other such thing) then I can mail
a copy over.
