Sorry for disturbing the group, but
I've RTFM and I'm still having problems with user ppp in FreeBSD 2.1. 
I've gone step by step and created or modified the devices and files. 
I've compiled the kernel with user ppp (tun0). after doing everthing 
listed up to 12.1 last line (yes I've read further but to no avail) I get 
the message:

can't find ifindex.
open_tun: No such file or directory

This is after following the direction to type ppp at the prompt.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance
