I'm not trying to be mean, but man pppd is your friend. Under the
active-filter section (starting on the second page on my 24 line terminal),
there's a comment that both pppd and the kernel need to be compiled with
PPP_FILTER defined. mac68k GENERIC kernels are NOT compiled with this
option enabled.

So you'll need to compile your own kernel, and add a line saying:
options PPP_FILTER
to the config file.

Acording to man options (which lists all the kernel options), pppd is
compiled with PPP_FILTER defined by default, so it won't need
re-compiling.

Take care,
