You shouldn't even need this line. Ppp(8) will load the module if it
needs to. The fact that ppp actually started means that there are no
tun(4) related problems. If you're getting no response from the
modem, then you really need to look in that direction.

Hmm, I tend to avoid irq 2/9....

Have you built ppp with DES ? You should see be a -DHAVE_DES option on
the cc line when building. Also, make sure you haven't got any #
characters in you password - if you have, you'll need to quote ("")
the password string or escape the #.
