I am having difficulty following your report. MSK's Int14h support
does work, and there are many flavors of Int14 which it supports. Without
knowing what you tried and what happened I can't comment further.

Translation: your link requires a PPP connection. Fine.

I have not seen PPPSHARE. ETHERPPP does work because I've tested it.
Recall that PPP is not a broadcast medium, but Ethernet is. Thus trying
to emulate Ethernet in a PPP driver creates serious difficulties dealing
with ARP and IP gateways and so on. Try setting up the PPP driver as a SLIP
interface rather than Ethernet. SLIP is point to point, just as PPP is, and
Kermit understands that pathway.
