A few things jumped out at me with just a glance.

1) require-pap: Very insecure.

2) Error 619: One cause of this is not having pty support compiled into the 
kernel (at least for Linux).

3) > localip 192.168.163.240-242
> remoteip 192.168.0.240-242
	These should NOT overlap and should be on the same subnet.  In any case, you 
only need one address for localip.

4) Examples: Well there is the 2.4 kernel howto (at 
http://home.swbell.net/berzerke), although that is for linux, not freebsd.  
Still, things may be close enough that it might be helpful.
