Last time I looked, the Roaring Penguin software communicated with the
standard PPP software through a pipe (using pppd's "vty" command) rather
than implementing the PPP protocol itself. Did this change?

Right, but you can just start pppd on boot, and never kill it, yes? If
you're using the Debian package, this is as easy as moving the file
/etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot.
