A) It's hardly too much to suggest that you use a custom kernel for
   testing.. :-)

B) You can still use the /usr/bin/ppp program to establish your ppp links,
   and probably with less effort once you have an /etc/ppp/options file
   all tricked out.  So don't say that "we don't support PPP in
   the GENERIC kernel", we do!  Just in a different way..

C) For hard-wired lines where ppp is overkill, there's still SLIP.
