i've been unable to connect with FreeBSD, until i found out about mulix's patch,
and this was what i needed (thanx to Nezek). i don't think there's a big difference
in OpenBSD and FreeBSD on that matter, so install pptp and not the other (over ethernet)
package, and follow the heart (of the HOWTO)
bye.
p.s. if you convert all the negations into affirmatives you'll get much more a positive
letter :)
