No - I'm afraid I've no practical experience anyway.

ppp(8) w/ netgraph(4) is available in -stable and -current. I'm not
sure what you man by fast ethernet though. It can easily handle
10Mbit, but I'd estimate you'll only manage about 60Mbits tops with
user-ppp on a 700Mhz machine without compression (although of course
your throughput should multiply linearly if you use SMP). This will
increase somewhat when I (finally) squeeze more of ppp(8) into the
kernel, but then I'll be faced with the problem of what to call it...
user-ppp will be just wrong :-(
