(I have a lot of reading up to do, but Mpd can do PPP over any netgraph hook, so unless there's some particular weirdness to the framing of PPP frames over ATM, it should more or less just work... Quoting from ng_ppp(4): These device-independent hooks transmit and receive full PPP frames, which include the PPP protocol, address, control, and information fields, but no checksum or other link-specific fields. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design, Inc. * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
