Does anyone know if any alternate data link drivers exists for
use under MacTCP?

SLIP, PPP, and other protocols "could" be implemented by writing
a pseudo-ethernet driver whose upper half provides the Ethernet
interface MacTCP desires, and whose lower half implements an
alternate protocol such as SLIP or PPP.  These sort of drivers
are reportedly common in the DOS world, I was wondering if any
existed on the Mac for MacTCP?

Please respond via e-mail, I will summarize to net as appropriate.
