Note, that it is NOT the same program as Linux > pppd, to be sure... It has a nice and powerful command-line interface. Incidentally, i recently considered removing the entire bsddip port. (I'm the maintainer of it.) There have never been any updates to the original bsddip (AFAICT), ppp(8) is actively and nicely maintained by Brian Somers, and nobody's going to use SLIP anymore anyway (and those couple of you out there who do wouldn't use dip for it either, would you? :-). So are there really any remaining bsddip users? Otherwise i'll kill the port some day.
