I have just installed NetBSD 2.0.5 and love it.  
I am having one problem with dynamic ppp.
I works as expected except for the first time it is loaded.   If I load "ppp -auto xxx"
the driver loads and the routing table is updated with a default route but network traffic will not cause the modem to dial.

If I instead load "ppp xxx" preform a manual dial the connection is made.  

After I disconnect and reload "ppp -auto xxx" all is fine the connection is made for any network traffic.

Any advice on this would be apreceated.
