In my understanding, PPP is a line discipline, meaning it can only run on a
TTY character device device, not just any character device, and definitely
not any random file descriptor.
turns out that the software I mentioned (virtmodem from 1995) does
indeed use a pty pair. Although I've not had time during the week to
get it running again, I suspect it would probably work on a recent
kernel/pppd.
Is the line discipline so much of an issue when using ppp connected to
a fake tty? could that not be handed on the proxy side inside ofono?
