On freebsd I use MPD + netgraph and have random drop or rejecting of connection when system is heavy loaded, can't reach more than 500 connections. On debian I use standard pptpd that come with distro. So, if someone have freebsd system with lots of pptp/pppoe users will be very usefull to share system settings or hardware information.
