For mobile telephony, PPP as a _protocol_ is wrong - sure. That being
stated, I don't see how pppd as a _software_ is better or worse than any
other PPP implementation.
Considering the high bandwidth involved in high HSPA categories, and soon
LTE networks, going through user space seems like a bad idea. That's why
Phonet GPRS has its own kernel network device driver, even though Phonet
can also interact with a TUN device. As such, the PPP-only modems are
hopeless. Then why bother rewriting a custom PPP implementation that will
be suboptimal in any case?
oFono PPP is just as non-performant as pppd in case the user-space AT MUX
is used. And it seems worse in case the kernel AT MUX or a raw TTY is used
(pppd has kernel path then).
So I must be missing something.
