Don't use "add 0 0 HISADDR" in ppp.conf, only use this in ppp.linkup.
The third arg to add in ppp.conf should be the same as the second
arg to "set ifaddr" -- without the /xx bit. So, you may have
set ifaddr 10.10.10.10/0 10.10.11.11/0
add 0 0 10.10.11.11
The "add 0 0 HISADDR" is important in ppp.linkup however.
This was my braino :(
If it's *very* slow, you may want to wander by
http://www.freebsd.org/~brian and pick up the latest copy from
there (well, fairly recent anyway). It fixes a bug where non-
TCP packets were being vj-compressed.
