This is 2.2.7 (new install).
When I try to "ppp -auto pmdemand" and ftp someplace, I get:
  working in auto mode
  no tunnel device available (device busy)
  Warning: OpenTunnel: no such file or directory

The tun0 device is set up. Why is it busy? How do I make it unbusy?

I was using -auto mode because -direct gives me a message about
a null destination system.
If I just want to use PAP, what is the best way to fire up PPP?
On the ppp command line, where does the PAPorChapConnect label placed?
