Agreed that in that case it is necessary to delete threads.

I'm not sure that PPP_INPROC_OWNTHREAD is related to blocking serial
input. I don't use this feature, I have my own thread that pushes input to
PPP, but I only did it that way because my thread also monitors connection
and modem status. If that were done elsewhere, I would use
PPP_INPROC_OWNTHREAD to pull data from my serial RX buffer and save me the
trouble. Then I'd just have an ISR that manages the buffers, and a SIO
implementation for those buffers...
