I did add to /etc/group like so

<snip>
network:*:69:root,mikegoe,meiousetsuna 
<snip>

and this is my default section of my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf

<snip>
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa1
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0
OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 allow user mikegoe   
<snip>

and get this:

> ppp
Working in interactive mode
Warning: No available tunnel devices found (Permission denied)

Like I said..works great as root

Hmmm...any further suggestions ?

Thanks.
