Hello John,
I believe that the quick answer to your question is "yes...but-".
There are a number of situations where ppp is being used "over top" of
various network layers rather than a serial port driver. The most familiar
(to me) case is PopTop (www.mortonbay.com/vpn/pptp.html), where ppp is
implemented over top of tcp and GRE (IP protocol 47). Perhaps you might
want to look at the source for that to give you an idea of what (if
anything) you need to include in your custom driver to emulate the
interface needed by ppp. Good luck.
George.
