+.SH FREEBSD PORT
+Examples of usage for the FreeBSD port:
+
+For tun0 (tun is the default device,0 is the default link number):
+
+% pppload &
+
+For the first ne2000 ethernet card:
+
+% pppload -device ed -link 0 &
+
+for the third ppp device:
+
+% pppload -device ppp -link 2 &
+
+.SH BUGS
+The port to FreeBSD can't determine when the link is up or down, so
+some of the command line options like
+.I "\-cmd"
+.I "\-percmd"
+may not work.
+
+Command line is awkward with -device and -link.
+
+Keeps track of all packets network device has ever used, even if it
+has gone down then up again. This is different than the linux
+version.
+
+Requires awk, grep, and netstat to get the data. Very short polling
+times are definitely not recommended.
+
+Network interface names are limited to a total of 4 characters or less
+at the moment, e.g. ppp0 ed3 ze1.
