I found this sentence in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp/atm.c:

 "PPPoA:if:vpi.vci expected\n", p->name.full);

That sort of gives me the syntax, I know my vpi and vci are 8 and 35, should
I be setting the interface to ng0  or pls0 which is the real interface in
ifconfig?

When I try ng0 I get the following error:

I guess that means ppp is expecting another device or I have to configure the netgraph device beforhand.
