The 4.4 version as distributed is missing the sample /etc/ppp/option file and all other assocated conf files for kernel ppp. The man pppd says they should be there.

Look for your self.
>Fix:
look into previous releases for samples and move forward. If kernel is being rewritten then add option file containing statments explaning why files are not there. Want to see sample containing modem dial out to ISP and modem dial in to the FBSD box showing both static and dynamic IP address configurations.

 Correct, there are no pppd(8) '/etc/ppp/options' examples anywhere in
 the distribution nor can I find any traces that there have ever been
 any. However, I don't see where it is actually said anywhere that they
 should exist with this one exception from the manpage,
 
 EXAMPLES
        The  following  examples  assume that the /etc/ppp/options
        file  contains  the  auth  option  (as  in   the   default
        /etc/ppp/options file in the ppp distribution).
 
 I cannot find a default /etc/ppp/options in the pppd distribution or
 any evidence there ever was one.
 
 So to summarize, where in pppd(8) did you see it say that the
 /etc/ppp/options exists before the user creates one? I think the only
 fix might be to remove the parenthesized portion in the above
 sentence.

I don't look after pppd, and Christ seems to have an interest here.
