NetBSD-1.0 has all the latest, greatest PPP stuff built right in
(although you'll probably have to rebuild your kernel to get a PPP
device configured into it).  NetBSD-1.0 is due to be released end of
July/beginning of August, last I heard.

I don't remember if NetBSD-0.9 had PPP or not.  I think it didn't have
it yet, if my memory hasn't failed me.  I know it did have SLIP.
