My first round of patches to the Linux PPP stack is available at
ftp://ftp.marko.net/pub/l2tpd/genppp-patches-090498.tgz

The patches are against the Linux kernel 2.1.115 (or anyting later should
work too) and ppp-2.3.5.

These patches restructure the Linux PPP driver to make it easy to add
different kinds of frontends (like async PPP over serial lines, l2tp,
pptp, or even isdn hardware of various types). I'm currently working on
an l2tp port to fit on top of this structure (this is the first work on
the second generation of l2tpd). Included is a sample loopback driver to
demonstrate how the driver can be used.

If you're interested in doing anything PPP related under Linux, this may
be of use to you since it vastly streamlines doing PPP when you're not
using a physical serial or tty device.
