PPP was only used to create a serial SSH link (for VPN). For example: the 
following command was used:

pppd pty 'ssh -t -t zidler pppd 192.168.254.201:192.168.254.200'

(some options were spevifed to PPPd to disable compression and 
authentication)

For all practical purpses you can assume that the PPP frame is something 
which needs to be transmitted to the other end over SSH.

I did recompile the whole package using -DPACKET_DEBUG flag. 

The problem is that i want to see how much extra overhead is introduced by 
SSH for transmitting a packet of say, 100 Bytes.

(Assume, blowfish_cbc, hmac_md5. no compression in both directions)
