I suspect just configuring the ethernet driver with ifconfig, but not adding a route for it would allow incoming packets to enter the TCP/IP stack, and have PPP call in normally, and set up its default route. If your ISP also sends data via PPP, this is a bonus. -- Are you tired of spam? Bored with waiting for web pages? Try Viewdata instead!
