Oh wow, you mean have the WiModem implement its own PPP server internally? That would be amazing, and (IIUC) a great way to provide TCP/IP access with just a single WiModem. Would the WiModem act as a router in that case?
It might introduce a lot of configuration options (compression flags, IP addresses,etc.) but I don't think it would need to support authentication at least. Reasonable defaults would probably give broad compatibility.
Could these links be helpful?

Also, I've recently been testing PPP-over-WiModem(s) with Roadshow rather than Miami and have noticed some performance issues in some configurations. It works very well with two WiModems in CABLE null-modem mode, but with two WiModems on the WLAN or one WiModem connecting to a socket-based PPP server, the transfers stutter noticeably (TX/RX lights go out for a second at a time) and achieve only about 5-6 kB/s instead of 9-10 kB/s. I suspect it's due to the higher latency and jitter in those modes. For some reason Miami doesn't seem to suffer as much (if at all). I want to do more testing, but I've posted over at the Roadshow support forums about this:

UPDATE: The reason for the inconsistent performance was that one of the WiModems was persistently connected to a distant AP with poorer signal quality. CABLE mode wasn't affected because the two WiModems were connecting ad-hoc and were close together. I'm hoping to find out how to make the WiModem use a specific channel/AP.
