Yes, use PPP. Sorry, but the overhead of a "complete TCP/IP protocol"
is negligeable with modern modems, especially if you have header
compression, MNP and other V* compressions. You could arguably
use SLIP, which is lighter weight. Not wanting to configure IP
addresses: just give your tunnel 127.1.0.1 and 127.1.0.2 or whatever.
(In practice you could even avoid that and just route subnets via the
endpoints of the tunnel).

Then use PPP.
