What got me into FreeBSD was MS changing RRAS/natd every time they released a new beta for 2000. I used user ppp because I could set it up to nat and to deny incoming. I think kppp is similar but I setup ppp because I could fire it off at system boot. Kernel ppp was a lot harder to stop and restart. BTW, your system clock is wacko. You are showing up as 4 August. You are about 50 hours fast.
