pppd is included with NetBSD's working system, but I'm not sure which of
the tarballs it comes with. The "ppp.tar.gz" that is available as per the
FAQ isn't a program at all (it's just shell scripts), & doesn't affect your
ability to use ppp. It just makes it a _HELLUVA_ lot easier, as it
automates the process.

Hmm, they've always worked via telnet for me...I haven't run directly on a
68k Mac in awhile, so I can't recall whether I had problems from console. I
currently use my 68k Mac under MacOS using BetterTelnet, & they work (just
make sure you're in command mode)

Both of these are easily solved by installing "dt".
