pppd-2.3.5 (/usr/sbin/pppd) is supplied with FreeBSD-stable and
FreeBSD-current, but there doesn't appear to have been any updates to
the patch level or much of the actual code since 1998 ---
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/

That's refered to in various documentation as 'kernel mode' ppp (it
requires `options PPP' in your kernel config) --- it's been largely
superseded by 'user mode' ppp for most uses (requires the 'tun' device
which is in the generic kernel already). The user ppp (/usr/sbin/ppp)
does see a lot more active development ---

	Cheers,
