No, no, don't try to configure tun0 in sysconfig, ppp will configure it
for you!

Your defaultrouter needs to point to the initial address you give to
the other end of your PPP link.  More on this subject later.

At this point you need to make some guesses about IP addresses so you
can run the default route through here.  This will enable PPP to demand
dial the link.  For instance, if your address usually looks like
199.10.11.xxx, and the router you connect to usually looks like
199.10.10.1, try this instead:

   set ifaddr 199.10.11.8/24 199.10.10.1/24

This will give the address 199.10.11.8 to the tun0 device upon startup,
linked to 199.10.10.1, and tells PPP to allow the lower 24 bits to vary
during the address negotiation.  Feel free to use /32 if you need.
This will, however, allow your default route through address
199.10.10.1 to be active, allowing PPP to demand-dial the link whenever
a packet is routed off-site and the link is down.

>  dial

Dial?  Take out the dial command and try 'ppp -auto simplex'.  When it
works every time, put it in /etc/rc.local.  The forget about it until
the next time you upgrade your system.

Put a 'delete 0' here to avoid getting complaints about the route
existing each time the link comes up.
