Trivial?  IMHO, I remember pppd+ssh sounding more complicated than cipe..  
Besides that, I didn't like the idea of that little rouge utility running
as root on my system (the tty tool, I forget the name).  As for cipe,
compile the kernel module (IMO, simple), write a five line config file and
run the daemon.  Set up the routes and you're done.

hmm.. I'm curious to see what you did.  I'm sure mine is something of a
hack job..  Here's something interesting:  We have two servers that
located under 10km of each other (near and in Mevesseret Zion).  The ADSL
connection often gets knocked off on both servers within 1 minute of each
other.. but not always.  Actually I think it's at the same time because I
don't keep very close tabs on the system clocks.
