Can you let me know what are the other protocols that performs better than PPP ? That will depend upon your link quality. If you drop a lot of frames then a link layer reliable protocol or FEC based protocol will do better. We used AX.25 (LAP-B with addressing). On radios that do their own reliability/error handling IP is often just fine (as with 802.11)
