I can't imagine why not... > When you run ppp -auto, it brings up the tun0 interface immediately so > you can route packets to it.

I failed to mention that this "up" interface doesn't work. What you say makes sense, thanks. But the problem is that ppp -auto is failing to dial out despite this. I get "host name lookup failure" and "host unknown" messages when I try to telnet/ping/etc. Am I missing something? How do I make sure packets get routed across the tun0 interface, so that -auto will dial in for me? Thanks again, David Lowe
