Actually your modem is a device like /dev/cuaa0 (an unfortunate name)...
tun0 is tunnel-zero, another unfortunate name - this time for user ppp.
All you need do is edit /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as root and add in your values.
I just got this happening and would be happy to send my ppp.conf if you
need a working model to compare with the distribution file (which I found
a bit obtuse.)
Once the file is happening you start ppp with: # ppp -background
Documentation is available in Greg's book (on the cd as book.txt), however,
I like two forms of docs: One that begins with 'remove the shrinkwrap,
take a break...' or a working example. I prefer the latter.
If such an example is of value, let me know.
Cheers,
Tom
