I'm having problems getting my dialup ppp to work on my machine.  I can get
it to dial up and connect, but it seems not to be setting up the routing
correctly.  I have a dynamic account so of course the router is going to be
the interface that I happen to connect to on a particular session
(different every time).  The problem is in the ifconfig line for tun0 in
the /etc/sysconfig file I think.  Can anyone reply to this message with
some generic ppp.conf, ppp.linkup and /etc/sysconfig files for a dynamic
ppp account.  I have tried going through the docs and the sample files in
the /etc/ppp directory to no avail.  I have a direct internet link at work
and that was easy to set up.  I am relatively new to FBSD and still
learning.

Thank you for any help you can give me,

Kenneth
