Hi,
sorry to trouble you directly, but I have upgraded to the ppp-980618.src, and
put the ifconfig tun0 bits in place. I'm running a much hacked about
2.2-961014-SNAP. I know, I know. I will upgrade when I can get this server
off-line. Or better, replace it with a whole new system, including upgraded OS.

However,
trying to find out what some of these things are:

These are the interfaces I have in place: I know what ed0 is, but according to
this I have 4 point-to-point links up! Surely I only need tun0, for PPP?

I also know what the lo0 lookback is. I also know what ppp0 is, and have taken
it out since I listed this. however, I can find virtually nothing on lp0, or
sl0 . 

Can I take out sl from the KERNEL? And what about lp0? Where is that
enabled/disabled?

ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 203.1.96.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 203.1.96.255
	inet 203.1.96.150 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 203.1.96.150
	inet 203.1.96.151 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 203.1.96.151
	inet 203.1.96.152 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 203.1.96.152
	inet 203.1.96.153 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 203.1.96.153
	ether 00:00:c0:4f:7a:54 
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 203.1.96.1 --> 203.26.20.131 netmask 0xffffff00 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
	

Now, also, I am getting these warnings at start up.

ppp[181]: Warning: No available tunnel devices found (Device busy). 
ppp[181]: Warning: bundle_Create: No such file or directory 

However, PPP does come up, and actually starts up.
This is the configs related to it.
The appropriate bits in /etc/sysconfig:

network_interfaces="lo0 ed0 tun0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 203.1.96.5  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_tun0=
#
router=NO

 add default HISADDR

Now, when the system is booting, 
it tellms me there is no route to delete? and
it shows the ifconfig tun line TWICE.
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

There is about a 30 second pause after boot up before it actually connects to
the upline server.
It does come up, but I notice at night, if there is a hangup, it doesn't want
to reconnect. Or, it won't keep trying if it does. It gives up after about
three tries.

Any pointers would be thankfully accepted,

Cheers
Robert
