Anyone used a FreeBSD machine as an LNS to terminate a bunch of L2TP
tunnels, and spawn of PPPoE sessions?

I currently use Cisco routers to do this for my ADSL clients, but they have
built in chassis restrictions on the number of vpdn sessions you can run
before you need to buy another router.

I looked at l2tpd in the ports collection, it's on the right track but I am
not sure if it will stand up to commercial applications.
