I have a system connected to the net through a dialup account, full 
time, with a class C network.  I have an extra modem and line on the 
FreeBSD (2.1) system, and I would like to allow dial-up ppp into that 
system.

Since I am using tun0 for my internet connection, I get the message:

No tunnel device is available.
open_tun: No such file or directory

It looks like I have to create a tun1 device, but I have created the entry:

crw-------  1 uucp  dialer   52,   1 Nov  6 13:49 tun1

in the /dev directory, and it doesn't get used.  I can't find anything in
the man page for ppp which would allow me to tell it which tun device to
use. 

I'm sure I've missed something obvious, but I would be gratefull if 
someone could tell me what it is.

Thanks in advance,
  Vic.
