Geee, if anyone could get *that* working with existing hardware, I would give them a standing ovation. PPP uses null-terminated (and other very odd) packet transfers, as well as some tricky network routing tricks. I would think at a minimum it'd require rewritten low-level code in a DTC. PPP logins have their own ids and passwords as well, which would need to be maintained somewhere (not necessarily the 3000 since PPP access devices connect you to the NETWORK not just a particular host). Doing PPP on an actual 3000 would require the 3000 to be able to do some fancy packet (IP) routing it's not currently capable of (as far as I've been able to determine).
