Hi,
I'm running pppd under FreeBSD 2.0.5-950622-SNAP.  pppd is working well, with 
the exception that it doesn't update the ARP table when I connect to it.  I'm 
using the 'proxyarp' parameter in /etc/ppp/options, but it either isn't taking 
that parameter, or it's ignoring it.

If I manually update the ARP table, everything works like a charm.
Any ideas on why pppd would be doing this?

thanks,
Jonathan
