I suppose you could have used the python script to ask this question in comp.unix.networking, intending to switch after you get a good answer. |

I actually did what you seek to do from DR-DOS 7.03, even worked from OS/2 Warp 4, with UKA_PPP but that was long ago. Now I can't even find UKA_PPP on the internet, only nonworking links. |

I think what you want to do is comparable to what I do in mail with msmtp (to send) and mpop (to download by POP3). |

I don't have Gentoo portage in front of me but have NetBSD pkgsrc (pkgsrc.org) and FreeBSD ports (https://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html), each of which has a news category. |
