Note that both of your Kernel AND PPPD needs to support the MPPE encryption and
optionnaly the MPPC compression. There should be an option to activate in your
FreeBSD Kernel to support it - for PPPD I guess that the option is also
available by using the port (with some compile option).

(Why do not you migrate to the wonderful world of OpenVPN ? ;))
