Okay good news....

	I have the ppp dialer  dialing and negotiating ip address,
	and it will not communicate to my server.

	BUT.....

	when I check ifconfig .... 'ifconfig -a' ....  the tun0 device
is attached to the WRONG ip address and server address.  If quit and
redial my provider, I get a new address and server address. The
ifconfig  will show the prior address and server address attached to the
tun0 device.  I am using a   'set ifaddr 0 0'  in my .ppp.conf file.  

When does the address get attached to the tun0 device  ?  How can I
reconfigure the tun0 device ?

Thanks
