D'oh, I finally realized I needed to go to /dev and MAKEDEV pppx1 8-/. Now it's working fine. I had thought pppx was one of those magic clonable devices that you didn't need to explicitly create, I guess I was mistaken. When I was testing the vpn, there were pppx1 and pppx2 interfaces that showed up in ifconfig for the clients, which I guess led me to believe I didn't have to do anything special to use pppx1 in the npppd config.
Thanks, and sorry for the noise. On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 02:29:35PM -0700, Paul B.
