But i don't understand what ( 15.1.5 PPP > Configuration ) is for? There are two ppp clients in FreeBSD, pppd (kernel ppp, much like the one i most Linux distributions) and ppp (aka user mode ppp). usermode ppp is interactive and generally more feature-rich at the cost of some ppp performance. I generally recommend newbies use ppp since it spews copius logs and can be interrogated while connected.
