   Proxy-arp is broken in FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.  I have the same
   problem using my home machine to talk to my LAN'ned work 
   [...]
   session just hangs there until you kill -9 it...  I have 
   email out to some folks who wrote the pppd program, and have
   yet to really hear anything.  (proxyarp DOES work on our Suns).
   Anyone feel ambitious enough to play with this before 2.0
   comes out????

I don't know that pppd is the problem (though I don't know how
different they are).  I run a pppd with the proxyarp option on
NetBSD-1.0_Beta, and it works perfectly.  It also dies cleanly when
told to do so.  Don't know if that helps, but there it is...
