Thanks for your responses.  I recompiled the kernel without the 1 in the
tun line and it worked just fine.  That 1 screws up all kinds of stuff. :)

The ppp handbook section is very misleading.  It says that it is updated,
but the directions still explicitly state to compile the kernel with

pseudo-device tun	1

This is leftover from the 3.4 handbook, in which the directions
worked excellently.  I would be more than happy to update that
section if that would be helpful.

Thanks for your help.

Ryan
