well, but:

- It needs atm, so can't work with GENERIC
- Its 1.5 version doesn't support FreeBSD 4
- From 2.0/1.4 it's more and more eagle chipset specific.

I think that another alternative, using sppp/netgraph can't hurt. Also,
most of this work can be used with alcatel and other brands chipsets.

I also use the 1.5 driver on RELENG_5_3 in pppoa with very good
 results.
