What threat model does this address? It'd be link encryption, where the best security is found in end-to-end encryption.
pppd doesn't necessarily run over a modem; you can "tunnel" it over another IP connection. I have in fact done this very thing. Use ssh to (encrypted) log in to the ppp server, and start pppd at each end. It's been a while; I think I had to tweak something to make it work over a pty instead of a serial port. - Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMlXhZkZRiTErSPb1AQEidQP8DEYaAcDyJMFY7AyRL4Q03tD+REiqqKPZ 1I8stlu7sx9OVFAgitqAWeWdi5HeXop0YpyAP9yYFxI9JTw6TgXfpP2P38pJ3vvU jebEyK+pVJnCw16As6rJJTNYlUFGlEqceuK8Bj4xNyrG1E4oGx8AEig4CT8RjGhk AOj4aFd7y+8= =aZOj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
