I'm sure it was there when I first started with FreeBSD back in 97... anyway - my main point is that the Pedantic PPP Primer is now outdated (unless I'm doing something very silly) since in FreeBSD 4.2, the info in the primer is not valid! I did however have more luck when I consulted another document on the topic (I think this was in the books section) - I didn't get that to work outright, but rather followed the instructions in it and butchered the example scripts that came installed on the machine. All is finally good, with the apparent exception of the Pedantic PPP Primer. I'm not an expert on the subject of the FreeBSD PPP program, but I'm pretty sure the primer is outdated, it certainly wasted an entire evening & night of my life. Maybe it should be checked and (if I am right) removed to prevent other folk from wasting their time also? Thanks, Foeh Mannay.
