Subject: PPP under FreeBSD 1.1.5?

Does FreeBSD 1.1.5 support PPP? I know that 2.0 is current but I don't
want to upgrade if I don't have to. I've been using SLIP successfully but
my new internet provider uses PPP. From what I've found so far, there
is a pseudo-device for PPP but I can't find the pppd executable. I have
read the pppd man page but that's about all I've found so far. I'm using
PPP under Windoze but would like to be able to run FreeBSD instead.

Any help/advice/pointers/config files/etc will be appreciated.
