Yes. The only requirements from the ppp_generic point of view are
that you can tell your underlying communications stuff to make itself
into a ppp channel and tell you the channel number it gets given.

Pppd is still tied to tty devices but I am working on restructuring it
so this is not the case. I intend to make it so that you can use a
plugin to add the necessary code for getting your device ready to do
PPP.
