Hello,

Roberto Nunnari, AGIE:

I'm using user level PPP in some FreeBSD ISDN-ppp routers. It's *much* 
easier to set up than SPPP or PPPD, and has lots of features like 
dial/alive filters.  I highly recommend it for ISDN applications 
rather than SPPP, for. eg AFAIK SPPP doesn't support VJ compression, 
etc.  

Bye

Mico
