I don't know about that, but I have a fine connection and tun0 *is* in
my /etc/sysconfig. I think I missed those recent threads but if tun0
doesn't get configured here then where does it happen? 

network_interfaces="tun0 lo0"
ifconfig_tun0="inet Chicago.xs4all.nl 0.0.0.0  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

My ppp.config looks the same qualitatively, and it does have the set
ifaddr 0 0 in it.
