It requires porting changes of system routines API, which happened between system-independent level and implementation files for supported platforms (linux, solaris...); this is rather non-trivial (it's radical, better to say). I have no time yet to do this rewriting. OTOH, this will give too small profit; pppd's way to implement PPTP, PPPOE, etc. is hardly compatible with FreeBSD because it supports them (in kernel) not with terminal line discipline, but with other mechanisms (mainly netgraph). -netch-
