I have used pppd  directly for a long period.   I currently have a broadband 
wireless connection (to the ISP antenna about 1 mile away) which is handled 
by a server machine in my house.   I use pppoe  to the wireless recvr.

But often, if the wireless goes down, I switch to  pppd on my main machine 
connected to a normal modem.

pppd has always worked fine for me and as you know, is the service that always 
ends up being used no matter front end you use to set it up.
