(Sorry it's been so long since my original post.  Got side tracked into
other things over the holidays.)

 |Hmmm, no IP sent or received.

That was farther up in the logs -- included above.  The 09:03:49 lines you
Cced are the beginning of the shutdown sequence.

 |But wait.... your ppp.linkup does include a MYADDR section with it in
 |:-(

Right.  As I mentioned, tun0 gets configed and the correct routes get
added.  ping request packets get sent across the modem link (confirmed with
tcpdump).  The only hitch is no IP packets (e.g. ping responses) ever get
sent back from the other side.

It's like the other side either 1) doesn't like something about my IP
packets, or 2) doesn't think the PPP link is fully up yet.

I listed this in the 'netstat.out' attachments.  Here's another copy.
Everything looks good.  ppp added both of the tun0 routes.
