This sounds like you've got an "ifconfig_tun0=" line with something 
on it.  Read the handbook.  You want an empty "ifconfig_tun0=" and an 
empty default router.  You want to disable routed and then create 
/etc/start_if.tun0 and put your ppp -auto command in there.

You want to read the handbook :-)
