:Heck, Linux doesn't even *have* usermode ppp ... anyone that can prove
:me wrong on that is extremely welcome to tell me I'm wrong, I can't find
:it.  Linux's ppp is kernel mode, only.

Since I only use kernel ppp in either, this has never been an issue for
me.  Linux and FreeBSD's kernel ppp are the same, with the exception of
pathing (/usr/bin/chat vs. /bin/chat, etc).  I haven't used ppp since I
joined the ranks of the cable connection class of user, but hey, I still
remember how to feed chat.
