Subject: PPP for Linux

I am going to be working on a project soon that will require the use of PPP.
I have asked why not SLIP (since it is built into the Linux kernel, and from
what I understand, works rather nicely), but it has already been decreed that
PPP will be used. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if anyone has
successfully ported PPP to Linux, and if they did, does it require kernel
hacking. I have gathered some sources for PPP, but the closest I have found
is Berkeley BSD 4.3 code that requires kernel hacking to get it running. I
do not look forward to hacking the kernel at all. That is best left to people
who know what they are doing. I would really appreciate any info anyone
can spare.

Thank you.
