I've had the same problems, but sorry i can't realy remember what
the reason was. If i compare your configuration with mine, i have
some ideas what could be wrong.

I think after the first call your routed has build some routing tables,
so your second call (-auto) is using that routing information.
Try 'netstat -rn' before and after your first manuell call. I am very
sure there will be a big diferece. If you would wait a longer time
between both calls, your second call will fail becaurse the routing
tables have been deleted.
: ### /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
: default:
: set device /dev/cuaa0
: set speed 38400
: disable lqr
: deny lqr
: set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\
: \T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

: interactive:
: set phone 3012220
: set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: xxxxxxxx word: xxxxxxxx"
: set timeout 1800

: ondemand:
: load interactive
: set ifaddr 0 208.192.224.5
I'm using 'set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 privider.ip'
In my /etc/hosts file my machine has 10.0.0.1 as the IP-address
: add 0 255.255.255.0 208.192.224.5
My Provider's IP adress is different to his nameserver address. For
some reason ppp could not find a route to the nameserver. I had to add
this line:
add 208.192.224.0 255.255.255.0 208.192.224.5
(i am using your numbers for this example)
to set a route to my provider's internal network.
After that ppp was able to find the nameserver.

: ### /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup

: ondemand:
: delete ALL
: add 0 0 HISADDR
: #
: # Otherwide, simply add peer as default gateway.

: MYADDR:
: add 0 0 HISADDR

: ### /etc/sysconfig
:
: network_interfaces="tun0 lo0"
: ifconfig_tun0=""
: ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
I Don't have 'tun0' in my 'network_interfaces' line.
I have no 'ifconfig_tun0' line.
Having both lines in my '/etc/sysconfig' gave my a lot of strange
problems with ppp. You should take it away.
Hope this helps.

Henning
