FreeBSD  4.3 RELEASE
>Description:
Here, in Belgium, we have an ADSL (SKYNET) internet provider.
So I need to use PPPoE. In the ports collection there is rp-pppoe2.8
but it's not working with freebsd's pppd at the moment. I need pppd 2.3.7 or higher... I've looked and looked but I couldn't get any working pppd version for FreeBSD 4.3. At the moment I log in on my provider under windows 2000. But I'd like to login on my freebsd machine and use it as a server ...
rp-pppoe was marked broken in the ports collection.
Any suggestions ? plz advice

I did patch the kernel as said in the manual for kernel pppoe.
I tried rp-pppoe 3.3 from www.roaringpenguin.com, but the error i get is due to a bad version of pppd (it has to be up to date 2.3.7 or later and suitable for FreeBSD 4.3) according to the manual.

 FreeBSD's PPPoE solution involves ppp(8).  Take a look at the man 
 page and at /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample for details.

State-Changed-Why:  
FreeBSD does not have a willing maintainer for pppd..until 
we find someone it will remain unmaintained.  Brian has 
addressed your specific question about PPPoE.
