+Mpd is a netgraph(4) based implementation of the multi-link PPP
+protocol for FreeBSD. It is designed to be both fast and flexible.
+It handles configuration and negotiation in user land, while routing
+all data packets strictly in the kernel. It supports several of
+the numerous PPP sub-protocols and extensions, such as:
+
+ Multi-link PPP capability
+ PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP authentication
+ EAP authentication
+ PPP compression and encryption
+ Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP)
+ PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
+ RADIUS (authentication and accounting)
+
+Mpd also includes many additional features:
+
+ Dial-on-demand with idle timeout
+ Multiple active connections running simultaneously
+ Dynamic demand based link management (also known as ``rubber bandwidth'')
+ Powerful chat scripting language for asynchronous serial ports
+ Pre-tested chat scripts for several common modems and ISDN TAs
+ Clean device-type independent design
+ Comprehensive logging
