people seem to be reporting lots of problems with PPP in FreeBSD.

my question is whether or not the current implemenations are of
suitable quality for running an ISP (or remote dialup access to a
LAN).

are the Linux versions any better?

i like FreeBSD a lot, but this is one area that seems to get a lot of
bad press.

any comments? thanks!
