I'm having a problem with ppp dropping packets frequently.  I will lose
about 1 in 20 on the average 1 hop ping.  I am dialing into another FreeBSD
machine, along with another user, and we both seem to have the same problem.
The machine we're dialing into is also my provider's gateway, and he does
not have any trouble pinging us, or the world.  The provider is using PPP 
over an ISDN line on tun0, I am currently on tun2 w/ 14.4.

Other than that, I've had no problems with user ppp, and am not really 
wanting to tackle pppd, unless that's my only option.  Any help would 
be appreciated.

Chad.
