If you'd be happy running SLIP then FTP to nova.cc.purdue.edu and fetch the
latest SLIP_XXXXXX files. Last I looked the latest files were still in
/pub/next/submissions. This is a well debugged and actively supported port
with reasonable installation notes. The package is dual purpose. A free
fully functional SLIP and a time-crippled promotional demo of CSLIP which you
just might want to buy.

Email to <info@TransSys.COM> should get you a brief blurb.

If you really need PPP I suggest you talk to Morningstar (checkbook in hand).
