+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pppx ,
+.Nm pppac
+.Nd PPP multiplexer device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pseudo-device pppx"
+.Pp
+.In sys/socket.h
+.In sys/ioctl.h
+.In net/pipex.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm pppx
+and
+.Nm pppac
+drivers works with the
+.Xr npppd 8
+daemon to provide network interfaces for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
+sessions by request from the daemon.
+.Nm pppx
+operates by allocating a network interface for each PPP
+session.
+.Nm pppac
+concentrates multiple PPP sessions on a single network interface.
+The interfaces also work with
+.Xr pipex 4
+to accelerate the performance of data packet forwarding,
+and supports ioctls which are added by
+.Xr pipex 4 .
+.Pp
+To use
+.Nm pppx
+or
+.Nm pppac
+from
+.Xr npppd 8
+the administrator needs to configure the interface configuration in
+.Xr npppd.conf 5 .
+Also the administrator needs to enable
+.Xr pipex 4
+by setting
+.Va net.pipex.enable
+to
+.Sq 1
+using
+.Xr sysctl 8 .
