I understand that problem: I tried to update it and mostly gave up (Same
problem with ficl). The Debian people started from the NetBSD patches. their
diff is here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2003/debian-bsd-200307/msg00006.html
they also submitted it to the ppp author so I was waiting for him to pick it up
and submit that PPP as a port.

The problem, as I see it, is that the only pppd that supports netgraph is mpd.


 cheers,
