Has anybody used TIA with either user or kernel PPP on FreeBSD 2.1?
I've tried both, but so far with no success.  Are there any special
arrangements that are needed with TIA, as opposed to a regular PPP
service?

On the same topic, could somebody explain to me the difference between
active and passive mode PPP?

Any help will be appreciated.
