Thanks for the response!

I did read the OpenBSD FAQ http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PPP

but there isn't much information in it and pppd isn't even discussed and there isn't much info in the man pages either.

It seems to be one of those fairly closed loop things which can be done in a few different ways but not documented that well.

At present I'm looking here: http://un.geeig.net/openbsd-vdsl.html

which I'm going to attempt. Again totally different way!

Instead of using /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and a tunnel interface, the posting creates an interface /etc/pppoe.conf. Having gone through the FAQ I don't recall reading that anywhere though it might be in a place that I haven't looked yet.

P.s. I know howto's aren't really fondly looked at but if you have no understanding initially of how things are done on a specific platform examples can help a lot with the learning process. Just like learning how to read
