The kernel PPP system supports sending it out over Ethernet or ATM.
Note that there is a difference between async ppp (HDLC stuffing), and
sync ppp (no stuffing).

If you want to do this at some speed, you don't want to take a trip through
userspace. I don't know what RIFFA is, but I suggest you want to use an
in-kernel interface.

No, as the packets don't really go through userspace even for serial.
