Do that with FDX Ethernet, no need to add PPP overhead to it. Owen
I guess the poster wants to connect two ethernet cards directly to each other using a crossover cable. This could save the ethernet overhead. Plus it would probably make for easier bonding of multiple paralell links. Could be interesting...

Anyone ever heard anything about PPP over Ethernet? Is there an encapsulation standard for it?
The idea sounds highly bogus. PPP is a way of adding packetization and content types to a serial link. Ethernet has both already. Besides, PPP is a point to point thing, an ethernet is a bus.
