You're looking for a mechanism to exchange packets with the host, not
asking about ppp support within UML?
ppp isn't supported because no one ever wrote it. Slirp is basically
the last choice for when nothing else will work, and ppp might be
right down there with it. TUN/TAP is the mechanism of choice.
