Hi,

My experience with ppp on freebsd has been fairly limited, as I tried to
make PPPoE work, and failed to do that because of funky netgraph
problems, see:

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-...@lists.debian.org/msg05960.html

and:

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-...@lists.debian.org/msg05962.html

In short: netgraph seems broken for me on kFreeBSD, but it may only be
me.

Also keep in mind that the 'ppp' we're talking about is probably a
*very* different beast than the "linux-side" 'ppp' that SynCE expects.
So this could just *not work* even if we get "freebsd-ppp" to work at
all.

So I am not sure what opinion you are seeking for me, but I think it's
safe to say that 'ppp' is not quite available right now in kFreeBSD.

I have heard reports of people making it work with plain old modems (ie.
not PPPoE/netgraph) so it may be possible to use it, but I haven't
experienced that myself.

A.

PS: those interested in porting freebsd-ppp (I have mostly given up now
due to time constraints) are free to start from the work done in the ITP
