I modified ppp to round robin across the flows and it does improve
interactive peformance on a modem link while multiple flows are
active.  My intention was to make it true fair queuing but I got
side tracked with other projects.  An MTU somewhat less than 1500
helps too.

This is a fairly old ip.c but it should drop into modern ppp
without too much trouble..
