have any tun devices in use, it works fine.  When I try to implement it
on a system which already has a tun device in use (e.g. for DSL), the
dial in connection fails.

OK.  I added the -unit to ppplogin with no luck.

ppplogin now contains

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ppp -direct -untit1 incoming

When I dial in, I am not seeing the connection even logged in
/var/log/ppp.log.  It looks like ppp is not opening the connection.

I copied the files to another FBSD server, which does not have an active
ppp connection and I am able to dial in fine.  As soon as I bring up the
PPP connection for the DSL, I am not able to dial in.

Any ideas what I have missed?  Should I be looking at multi-link ppp?

Thanks,
