This is all fine. You're on the right track below, but missed the
configuration slightly. What we need to do is enter a default route
through the IP addresses you've just configured above, even though
they're not "up" yet. Also, you don't need to delete ALL routes, you
probably haven't got any routes except LAN interfaces installed yet.
Immediately following the "set ifaddr" line insert:
add 0 0 10.10.11.11
This will add a default router through the address at the "other" end of
the link. Any packets directed off your local area network will be sent
to the tunX device, forcing ppp to dial the link.
HISADDR is not really effective in the ppp.conf file; you don't really
have a HISADDR yet.
