I may have to type this in--I'm unable to mount the floppy drive, and 
MAKEDEV is telling me "bad unit for disk in: fd*" for each /dev/fd*. 
Should I consider this a second message to me saying, you have weird 
hardware, and give up? I'd rather not. Perhaps I have a different 
problem to work with first, getting the floppy mounted so I can write 
logs to it. Advice?

Perhaps it hasn't--the last thing in the ppp.log is:

ppp[116]: tun0 : Command: /dev/tty: set device cuaa0

That's from the interactive mode entry. From the auto mode entry, the 
last listing is:

ppp[116]: tun0: Phase: PPP Started (auto mode)

All the best,
