There was an additional line in ppp.linup, which read like this: add MYADDR 255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 Now, this was an attempt to solve a different problem: when the link IS working, attempts to telnet to myself at my assigned IP address fail, unless there's a route installed from localhost to that address. Apparently the tunnel device doesn't recognize its assigned address. I could argue two bugs here, one that the tunnel device doesn't know its address, and the other, that the attempt to install the above route hangs the ppp daemon. Take it for what it's worth; in any event, things are working fine now. Many thanks to all for their helpful suggestions. Mike O'Brien
