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.
