+.Sh PPP OVER TCP (a.k.a Tunneling)
+
+Instead of running ppp over a serial link, it is possible to
+use a tcp connection instead by specifying a host and port as the
+device:
+
+.Dl set device ui-gate:6669
+
+Instead of opening a serial device,
+.Nm
+will open a tcp connection to the given machine on the given
+socket. It should be noted however that
+.Nm
+doesn't use the telnet protocol and will be unable to negotiate
+with a telnet server. You should set up a port for receiving
+this ppp connection on the receiving machine (ui-gate). This is
+done by first updating
+.Pa /etc/services
+to name the service:
+
+.Dl ppp-in 6669/tcp # Incoming ppp connections over tcp
+
+and updating
+.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
+to tell inetd how to deal with incoming connections on that port:
+
+.Dl ppp-in stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct ppp-in
+
+Don't forget to send a

+signal to
+.Nm inetd
+after you've updated
+.Pa /etc/inetd.conf .
+
+Here, we use a label named
+.Dq ppp-in .

+10.0.4.2 to awfulhak.
+
+To open the connection, just type
+
+.Dl awfulhak # ppp -background ui-gate
+
+The result will be an additional "route" on awfulhak to the
+10.0.2.0/24 network via the tcp connection, and an additional
+"route" on ui-gate to the 10.0.1.0/24 network.

+The networks are effectively bridged - the underlying tcp
+connection may be across a public network (such as the
+Internet), and the ppp traffic is conceptually encapsulated
+(although not packet by packet) inside the tcp stream between
+the two gateways.
+
+The major disadvantage of this mechanism is that there are two
+"guaranteed delivery" mechanisms in place - the underlying tcp
+stream and whatever protocol is used over the ppp link - probably
+tcp again. If packets are lost, both levels will get in eachothers
