Ppp has no concept of server or client. It is a peer to peer connection. Each peer can wait for the other end to connect. So Yes, the PPP stack in eCos can act like a "Server".
I don't think SLIP is available.

I understand that PPP only works with FreeBSD stack... but I would like to
know if there is a way to put the eCos application to wait for PPP
connections. I want eCos to be the PPP server, not the client... is it
possible?
If not possible... is SLIP avaiable?
Thank you.
Gonçalo

PPP only works with the FreeBSD stack.
To set it up, just follow the instructions in the documentation:
