I did not find any links on Charles' website that mentions the scripting you did. Furthermore, I did not find any reference to PPPd on charles' website either

It has been done before. If it helps, I wrote a ppp server howto awhile ago for actual dialups - I think it is on Charles' site. You will not need all the password setup instructions, obviously. Basically you'll use PPP over the null modem cable to connect the two machines. For the Dachstein release, you will need to use Charles' "Normal" kernel vs the "Small" kernel to get serial support.
