I have done something like this in the past: machine A logs into machine B using a dialup line, from there telnet to machine C, then a PPP session is established between A and C. It worked, bu not very reliably. I don't remember exactly if I used telnet or rlogin, and also at that time -- 2.1R -- iijppp was unstable also on direct connections. The problem is that (I think) you need an 8-bit clean path between A and C; how to guarantee this, I am not sure.
