+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ppp
+.Nd point to point protocol network interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd options PPP_BSDCOMP
+.Cd options PPP_DEFLATE
+.Cd options PPP_FILTER
+.Pp
+.Cd pseudo-device ppp
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the
+.Em Point-to-Point Protocol
+(PPP).
+The
+.Nm
+interface can use various types of compression and has many features
+over the SLIP protocol used by the
+.Xr sl 4
+interface.
+.Pp
+Supported options are:
+.Bl -tag -width 20n -compact
+.It Cd options PPP_BSDCOMP
+Enable support for BSD-compress (`bsdcomp') compression in ppp.
+.It Cd options PPP_DEFLATE
+Enable support for deflate compression in ppp.
+.It Cd options PPP_FILTER
+This option turns on
+.Xr pcap 3
+based filtering for ppp connections.
+This option is used by
+.Xr pppd 8
+which needs to be compiled with
+.Em PPP_FILTER
+defined (the current default).
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It ppp%d: af%d not supported .
+The interface was handed
+a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
+family; the packet was dropped.
