NAME
     ppp -- point to point protocol network interface

SYNOPSIS
     pseudo-device ppp [count]

DESCRIPTION
     The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces
     using the point-to-point protocol.  The ppp interface can use various
     types of compression and has many features over the sl(4) protocol.

DIAGNOSTICS
     ppp%d: af%d not supported.  The interface was handed a message with
     addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
     dropped.

SEE ALSO
     inet(4), intro(4), sl(4), pppd(8), pppstats(8)

BUGS
     Currently, only the ip(4) protocol is supported.
