I haven't gotten any hopes up, but it would be nice. It seems as
if the only alternatives are to un-GNU PoPToP (which requires
a clean room team; possible but not easy) or to create a FreeBSD
pptpd that is analogous to pppoed. This would use your work, Archie,
since it would use the Netgraph PPTP implementation and "connect" it
to userland PPP. It would require the creation of the daemon and
some minor changes to the userland implementation of PPP. If they
won't release the code, would you be willing to help create the
daemon? You're obviously the expert on how netgraph_pptp works.
