Ah, a separate modem and router then - fairly unusual in .uk-land.

Nor does ppp(4), according to the 'bugs' section of the man page.
ppp(8) does, though. Out of interest, is that to use with blackcat,
or does someone else do it too now?
It's for blackcat (It's an unfortunate name - I dislike cats, but I
despise cat owners. Especially ones with non-belled cats.)
But, (and I'm proboably wrong) - are you confusing ppp(4) with
pppoe(4) - because I thought they were different pseudo devices.
Actually I'm confusing ppp(4) with sppp(4) but neither support IPv6 at
present - looks like you'll need userland for IPv6 PPP. (fwiw, sixxs is
good for tunnels).
