Hi,

	I have problems whilst starting pppd from X. If I start pppd before 'startx' then I am able to 
access the ppp link, but then Xwindows gets hung. On the other hand if I start Xwindows and then pppd, it does not
connect.

	The other problem is that I cannot access the menu items of Ghostscript, tkman, tkinfo, kHTML,
xfm, .... though I am able to access those of mosaic, netscape and xterm/kterm/emu.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

FreeBSD2.0.5, The only item added to the kernel was "psuedo-device   ppp  1 " and
					            "psuedo-device   tun  1 ".
