My appologies for cross posting the citation about iijppp, a demand dialed ppp
for freebsd.  I tried to compile it myself on netbsd last night with the
following result:

iijppp requires the "tunnel" device ("/dev/tun??" ?) from freebsd because it
runs in user mode.  The source compiles cleanly with this exception.
How easy is it to add the tunnel device to netbsd?  Can this be done with a
loadable kernel module in netbsd1.0?

ijppp sources are available from:

  ftp.freebsd.org:/.3/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/usr.sbin/ppp
