I am trying to start up pppd but I got this error
        Sorry - PPP is not available on this system
I did a minumum install (freebsd) becuase I did not have the
space and then copited every ppp & pppd file over.
ppp runs but not pppd.

there is a file somewhere on my system that tells me what programs are
installed and where, but I can't find it!

If you caould name that file I would appreciate it!
