The supported methods are either userland ppp(8) and/or kernel PPP
using isppp/sppp/isp<n>. Others such as pppij and pppd will not work.

Userland ppp(8) has all the bells and whistles you expect from a PPP
package whereas kernel ppp is relatively small and without the
overhead of moving packets from and to userspace and having a daemon
run in userland but it supports only a very limited amount of features
of what PPP can do. Both have their pros and cons and you have to choose
the one which fits your needs. There is no preferred way ...
