  You can't use iij-ppp since you don't have kernel support in 2.0 for a tunnel 
driver.

  You don't need the entire src distribution, just the base and kernel bits to 
rebuild the kernel.

  The easiest route would be to upgrade to 2.0.5R, which has both.

  WWW site is http://www.freebsd.org which has the FAQ which has info on kernel 
rebuilds.
