This is a message from Rick at pointman.org. Check to see if you are configured
correctly:
>>Forwarded Message:
If pmfirewall is installed in /usr/local/opt/pmfirewall/
Just add: /usr/local/opt/pmfirewall/pmfirewall start
to the /etc/ppp/ip-up or ip-up.local file. Note, this only works if you
are using pppd or some variant of a frontend for it. You don't need to
add anything to the ip-down file.
