I'm in the process of migrating over to freebsd from linux and I'm having
trouble with PPP. Not sure if its the OS or my own experience with PPP.

If I use the PPP and ppp.conf scenerio to link up to a provider then I can't
seem to get PPP to fire up after a successful login via the chat scripting.

If I try to use the pppd and chat script that is working on my linux system
then /usr/sbin/pppd tells me that "PPP is unavailable on this system".

Could someone be so kind as to give me a push in the right direction? :)
