Well, in my experience, attaching pppd to a socket to set up a ppp tunnel
across TCP (and TCP alone, no UDP/GRE stuff gets through the firewall) is
flakey, at best.  the Userspace ppp just works better for such a set up.
No really, it does.. Trust me.. :-)  

Besides which, I've gotten it to work with FreeBSD's userspace ppp, and
haven't gotten it to work (reliably) with in kernel ppp stuff, so I'd just
like to stick with what works rather than banging on stuff that I may or
may not be able to get running in the long run.
