Well, I must admit I do not remember the details. However, given that SSH provides a virtual terminal, i.e. a tty, I remember a tip by Alessandro Rubini about using ppp over ssh. I don't remember the details, and well, that's really an hack for demostration purposes. But I wanted to throw in this suggestion anyway. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can add them to my list!
