<title>Using mpd</title>
<para>You can use <application>mpd</application> to connect to a variety
of services, in particular pptp services. You can find
<application>mpd</application> in the ports collection,
<filename role="package">net/mpd</filename>.</para>
<para>First you must install the port, and then you can configure
<application>mpd</application> to suit your requirements and provider
settings. The port places a set of sample configuration files which
are well documented in
<filename><replaceable>PREFIX</replaceable>/etc/mpd/</filename>. Note
here that <emphasis>PREFIX</emphasis> means the directory into which
your ports are installed, this defaults to
<filename>/usr/local/</filename>. A complete guide to to configuring
<application>mpd</application> is available in HTML format once the
port has been installed. It is placed in
<filename><replaceable>PREFIX</replaceable>/share/mpd/</filename>.
Here is a sample configuration for connecting to an ADSL service with
<application>mpd</application>. The configuration is spread over two
files, first the <filename>mpd.conf</filename>.</para>
