PPP wouldnt be too difficult to add, the network profile setup we have
now isnt difficult to modify, I sent in a patch the other day to allow
you to configure WPA passkeys in a profile, without the need for a
wpa_supplicant config and it should be in the next initscripts
package.
But I dont know of any devs who use PPP, so it's somewhat unlikely
unless we get some patches sent in, or someone gives me a thorough
explanation of how PPP is setup and run, and how it could possibly be
integrated. If someone wants to contact me and is willing to provide
this info and test, i'll be happy to work with them.

Well, the wiki has information on how to set ppp up - surely reading that is a start ;) Obviously you can't test it though. I was going to take a look at this as well, though I don't have pp atm.
