The good news is I have ported user space PPP and it has been done for some time, but haven't been able to test it due to certain glibc features that are not there yet (some socket ioctl() calls), although Marcus tells me he will be done soon. I tried doign some things manually and copying over some libs that he gave me, but I got strange errors about "Protocol Family Not Supported" for AF_INET. Marcus has basically told me that I may be missing some things that he has on his system and it is best to wait for new debian packages. So whenever new debian packages come into the mix I can get it working. I am not about it jump into the fun that is glibc. I am leaving that to Marcus ;). I could have written it all using fsys_set_options, but that is not too portable, nor the recommended method. So I just ask that all be patient, it will be there soon enough.
