I now have a running connection with user ppp.

But when I connect the second time with my Win 95 box,
I never get a real connection, that is: it logs in ok, even 
seems to be having an IP address etc. But in my ppp:log it
says SIOC__: FILE EXISTS, when trying to give it an IP address.
ifconfig -a gives all interfaces okay,
with tun0 up, running, pointopoint and from
ip1 to ip2.

In my /etc/sysconfig I do define it that way. Is that what I do
wrong? Interfaces should be ifconfig'ed at startup time, no?

Anyhow: any ideas?
