I guess the poster wants to connect two ethernet cards directly to each other using a crossover cable. This could save the ethernet overhead.

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. .pm
