TCP/IP over Serial Port

I am developing a headless system with xp embedded and I need to use tcp/ip
ppp protocol over a serial port. How do I install the ppp driver on the
serial port and create the connection without a user interface? I plan on
using RAS and the ftp api's to communicate with a remote ftp host.

It's a while since I've done anything like this, but netsh and net.exe
let you do just about everything that the GUI does.
Something I would try is setting up the connection as required with the
UI, exporting it with netsh (iirc) and then importing it on a clean XPe
(do another build which includes the UI for testing purposes if you
can), and seeing how much works.
 
Thank you. I have looked at those utilities and I don't think they will do
everything to set up the connection. I am thinking that using terminal remote
support might be the way to do it.
