I'm actually very glad you brought this up. I also am very unimpressed
with ppp, and have been considering mpd for quite a while. I have not
had time to delve into it yet, but I would certainly appreciate whatever
information you'd like to donate in terms of experiences, problems,
solutions, reading material, etc.

Also, you might subscribe to the freebsd-net mailing list. That one
might be more suited to discussing this topic in detail.

Good luck!
