Hi,

   I'm having some difficulty in getting (user process) ppp to run 
properly on my machine. I'm using version 2.1 of the operating system. I 
followed the instructions given in section 11 of the handbook, read 
manpages on ppp, route, routed and ifconfig and still can't get the 
interface to operated. For starters my ISP doesn't use a login prompt 
for starting ppp. According to him all I should have to do is pass my 
username and password using pap and I should then be connected. Of course 
this doesn't work, by setting my authname and authkey. Also after about 3 
minutes or so I get message stating "route[49]: deleting route to to 
interface tun0 (timed out)". As the system is coming up it shows the tun0 
interface as 'tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST>'. I was 
also reading thru an O'Reilly book, tcp/ip network admin, I thought not 
having a default gateway using the tun0 was my problem, but route will 
not allow me to create one. Ok.... is there anything obvious i'm doing 
wrong, and how can i stop route from timing out tun0. 

   thanks....
