# /usr/sbin/pppd pty "ssh root@remoteserver pppd notty local 
10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2" noipdefault nodefaultroute noauth updetach

You can also just create a file in /etc/ppp/peers/ with the following lines 
and then call 'pon':
  pty "ssh root@remoteserver pppd notty local 10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2"
  noipdefault
  nodefaultroute
  noauth
  updetach

You'll get the IP 10.0.0.2 and on the server 10.0.0.1. You need to setup 
proper routing and maybe NAT for that separate subnet, but it will be a tunnel 
into your home network.
