You might try to ktrace `ppp' to see what it's sending and receiving
from the tunnel.

You might also try to get `tcpdump' to work on the `tun' interface (if
it doesn't already) and see what it's sending and receiving.

I'd bet any money on it being DNS requests, despite the fact that you
think you have them disabled.
