Hi all,

Thanks to all that sent a few things my way.  I had managed to get ppp
working to the point where it would place the call and connect using PAP( I
love the ppp.log file).  I was still having trouble getting routing working,
but thats the next email. :-)

So, last night, ppp is connecting and PAP seems to be working fine.  After
doing a manual

# route delete default

# route add default <ISP IP here>

I could ping to my hearts content.  (DNS awaits too)

I get up this morning, ready to tackle routing and DNS and what happens:

# ppp
User Process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO.
OpenTunnel: Can't find ifindex.
open_tun: No such file or directory
# ppp

The tail of the  /var/log/ppp.log is filled with this:  (I tried ppp a few
times)

Anything is possible, but I do not think I changed anything.

I am running 2.2.5 off the CD.
Generic Kernel.

All info & thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
