before you go too far down this path,

are you interested in looking a teh whistle networking extensions?

It is a "streams-like" system
I have modules that do the following:

ppp  framing
frame relay (two modes)
cisco HDLC
BSD interface emulation (simulates a tun interface kindof)
socket node (any thing that hits it comes out a socket that can be read)
Tee node (for debugging)
black-hole
echo
sync-card driver

several people have looked a thte code  but it will be coming up
for full public release in a few months. till then it's 
'limitted release' (you ask, I give you a copy) ) :)
