Hello,

I'm using 4.0.

I've been trying to get my DSL up and running by editing the various
configuration files from numerous examples to no avail. Then I found roaring
penguin pppoe (rp-pppoe), which promises to make all my troubles go away.
Maybe.

When running rp-pppoe, it gave me the error "cannot find pty" or something
to that effect. The docs for rp-pppoe say this means pppd is to old, I need
at least 2.3.7. Running "pppd --version" gave me "2.3 patch 5". I assume
this means I should upgrade.

Which brings me to the final question - should I upgrade, and if so, where
is the best place to get it? I have looked around on the freebsd website
some but cannot find any ppp* files except for ppp-nt-2.2.7, which I don't
think is what I'm looking for. I found a tarred ppp-2.3.11, but the
installation seems a little involved (and it only mentions being compatible
to 3.0) so I wanted some opinions on how to proceed.

Thanks,
Scott
