Umm, if it's synchronous, you don't really want to be a TTY. You want to be
a network / WAN / whatever interface.
Sync lines are running a packetized protocol like HDLC or whatever. It
carries packet boundaries which you may not toss. There' _no_ way to convey
those boundaries through the TTY layers, unless you transcribe the stuff
into async HDLC, only to let the PPP driver do the reverse operation --
millisecond later. Not a pretty thought.
However, the PPP driver needs ripping apart anyway, and you're not the
first person to stumble across this (ISDN is another example).
