I'm not sure wether there is any explicit support but than can be made
to work. As in:-

ippp2 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:xx.yy.zz.78 P-t-P:xx.yy.tt.254 Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:548 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:608 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          Collisions:0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
          inet addr:xx.yy.zz.78 Bcast:xx.yy.zz.79 Mask:255.255.255.240
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:921515 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1004378 errors:176 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:175
          Collisions:34529
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xec00

ippp2 is set to dial a Cisco router setup with `ip unnumbered'.
