Hi - can anyone help me?

I'm re-building my FreeBSD system around 2.1.5.  I've got the user-mode PPP
(the one 
using the tunnel device) running properly in auto mode, but one thing still
eludes me.  

The documentation says that it supports proxy ARP, but I just can't see how
to 
configure that.  None of the documentation says how to do it, and none of
the examples 
seem to have it.  Nor do any of the  "obvious" commands (like proxy,
proxyarp, set 
proxyarp) seem to work.  I'm mystified!

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

I know how to make it work with the alternate kernel-mode PPP, but I'd
prefer to stick with the user-mode PPP if possible.

Nick.
