Hi Robert;

Hmm.. my intention was just to let you know how things are done in FreeBSD, I'm
not really into suggesting which ppp you might want to use :).

I haven't sorry, I use the non-GNU FreeBSD.
Is Debian's ppp derived from the older pppd in FreeBSD?
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/
It should just work, but it was left basicly unmaintained several years ago...
the "modern" tendency is to use netgraph:

outdated)
hope that helps somehow,
Pedro.
