I don't know which is better -- but -- pppd (kernel ppp) has worked all
the time, everytime. I wish I could use ijppp for the convenience. (It
works with Cisco's but not with others.) I suspect the tunnel driver,
e.g., hosts that understand it work -- those that don't can't, but I
don't know. Since pppd works, I haven't fussed with it.
