Which doesn't have much to do with the question asked. :-)  I'd expect
userland PPP to be pretty easy - all it would take is hacking pppd to
not set the line discipline, and then allocate a tun device and handle
data packets - but have never looked at it myself.

It is.  I have an implementation working now in userland, using bpf to
talk to the network and a pseudo-tty to talk to pppd.  For performance
reasons I'm not satisfied with this; in my Copious Spare Time I'm
working on moving it into the kernel.
