I am running FreeBSD 1.1.0.5 and PPP is standard equipment er.. make that ALMOST standard equipment :-#) The daemon is /usr/libexec/pppd. Sources are in /usr/src/libexec/pppd as expected. You WILL need to rebuild your kernel. Add the line "pseudo-device ppp 1" to your kernel config file and rebuild. And it does work, as I'm running it right now. I also grabbed sources out of ftp.uu.net for a newer version, and got those to compile. What I really want though, is a PPPD for FreeBSD that will redial the modem after a hangup. This is for a dedicated slip connection. I can see some ways that I can hack it up to do this, just wondering if someone already has been through this. Thanks
