Puppy founder Barry wishes to put all Internet connection devices in one GUI. There is some confusion in his mind on how it can be done?

PPPOe is ppp over Ethernet, which includes wired(switching hubs, cable, DSLam, QAM) and wireless(802.11n). They are on the kernel level(network operating system) to connect to an Ethernet server on intranet or internet.

pppd is an application(on desktop) which has dialer, dialup modem drivers on serial ports or USB ports. Even the ppp part of the codes are not the same because in modem packets, data is only 54 bytes long(for transmission error correction), Ethernet packets are up to each frame of 500kbytes.

So, the only way is to have a terminal and have a choice or connecting only one device or connecting both devices(shotgun type parallel transmission), be it all Ethernet type devices or adding dialup modems(upto dual) to share one browser(modified paths to windows) or in separate browsers.
