Bad idea except on an extremely reliable link. You basically end up squaring the TCP backoff behaviour - which is not ideal under loss. Thats why the 'real world' setups use datagram framing - UDP like CIPE, raw packet protocols like PPTP and raw ethernet like PPPoE It does work for simple things though
