Thanks for dealing with this, it's been on my todo list for ages, but
I no longer run ppp on any of my freebsd machines.

Subject: cvs commit: src/sys/net if_ppp.c ppp_tty.c

Modified files:
sys/net if_ppp.c ppp_tty.c
Log:
Bruce mentioned to me that Paul Traina had noticed that the ppp_tty
interrupt mask hackery wasn't happening when being modloaded via the
if_ppp lkm. It seems that the lkm system doesn't particularly like having
two sets of load/unload/etc routines. :-] This really should be fixed
by having a seperate if_ppp and ppp_tty lkm, but that requires that ppp_tty
is loaded after if_ppp, and needs to be able to link with symbols in
if_ppp. This gets messy, it is a better task for the in-kernel linker.
(if_ppp is generic, ppp_tty is a tty-specific bottom end for if_ppp, it's
not _too_ hard to have another "provider" (such as a hdlc sync card)
connected to if_ppp)
