    I all ready did my homework reading the man pppoed and googleing.

    If the cryptic documentation was written for other people than
    expert
    Unix programmers then it would have answered my questions.

    I already know that pppoed is different than 'user pppoe'.
    I know under what conditions someone would use 'user pppoe'.

    >From the view point of FreeBSD, under what conditions would
    someone need to use pppoed?

    What need or purpose does it fill in the Freebsd world?

    Please Explain by giving example .

    PPPoed is the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet Daemon.
    The RFC is here - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2516.html

    I also suggest that you Google on PPPOE and do some reading.

    HTH,

    I read the man pppoed, but that is so cryptic I got nothing out of
    it.

    What is the purpose of PPPoed?

    Who are the typical users?

    How is this different than using ppp with
    'set device PPPoE:XXX' in the ppp.conf
