Which 'distance' are you referring to?  Mpd works now, without
MPPE.  Adding MPPE is easy, but held back by the ususal crypto crap...
the netgraph and mpd parts are done, you just need to add a couple of
easy-to-find files in /usr/src/sys/crypto (rc4.c and rc4.h).

As for ppp(8) and netgraph and/or PPTP, you'd have to ask
brian@freebsd.org.
