Hi,

I hope this is the correct location for the question and appologise if
it is not !

Currently I am using tun0 as my interface for ppp, however as it
interferes with my ed1 and also means that sendmail wants to dial out
on startup - where I want to defer all requests until late at night or
else I am calling out for other reasons.

I am thinking that it would be better if I was to set up ppp in the
kernel not as a tun device.

I am under some confusion - is there a difference to sppp and ppp ?

I am running 4.0-current and apparently have a choice, sppp seems to be
in rc.conf but what does the s mean.

If this is a question for current I have just re-subscribed and will
post it to current if nessecary.

the manual tries to escape ppp over tun !

any help most thankfully appreciated !
