Poetic license and all that.

>I have yet to try it out. 

I use it all the time, but then I'm one of the coders. Expect a
FreeBSD port in the next few weeks (unfortunately available only to US
citizens).

Yes, but noone likes writing docs (never mind good ones) :-)

>What do you recommend for FreeBSD then? SKIP, ssh/ppp, ???

Well, wait for the port. I don't like the SKIP design and philosophy
(except for multicast communications), and I think ssh/ppp is a
horrible hack.
