I am trying to get a VPN going  by running user PPP over SSH
as per the example in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
but it does not seem to be working.  It is failing
in the PPP LCP negotiation phase.  Can anybody provide more
detailed  example setup than is given in the default example 
configuration?

I have no problems using either ssh nor ppp separately.

One side is set to openmode active (the caller). It sends several 
LCP config requests but does not seem to get any responses. Then it
quits due to "Exception detected on descriptor 2".
The other side is set to openmode passive (the callee).  It seems 
to be receiving and sending LCP config requests.

My setup is 
FreeBSD 2.2.8 on one box
FreeBSD 3.1  on the other box
SSH 1.2.27 (not from Ports) on both
Link is an Ethernet LAN

I am getting a bit desparate  at this stage.
Any suggestions welcome.
