Well, I've thought about this one, and I'd have to say that the
blunt answer is no.
I am working on some things like this--you'd have to go the route
of running Winsock over a packet driver & then using a shim
like pktmux to split off virtual packet drivers. I suppose you
could run slp16550 or etherppp packet drivers outside of Windows.
Otherwise you'd have to write an implementation of SLIP or PPP
that communicates with some kind of TSR stub in the System VM
that makes it look like the packets from the dial-up connection
are comming out of a packet driver.
In short, this is pretty yecchy.
