I'm actually very glad you brought this up. I also am very unimpressed with ppp, and have been considering mpd for quite a while. I have not had time to delve into it yet, but I would certainly appreciate whatever information you'd like to donate in terms of experiences, problems, solutions, reading material, etc. Also, you might subscribe to the freebsd-net mailing list. That one might be more suited to discussing this topic in detail. Good luck! -- Adam
