I might be motivated to try; however, I would need to understand 
more about its architecture (and about Netgraph, whose mysteries I 
haven't plumbed). Also, I understand that at least some of the code 
is from a very old implementation of PPP that was written in Japan 
many years ago.

Have you thought about how such modifications might be made?
