When I run 

ppp -auto default

It says 

SIOCAIFADDR: Device not configured

at startup. 

The output of of ifconfig shows ed0, lo0, sl0, ppp0 and tun0 of which only
lo0 has an inet shown. I have followed the Pedantic PPP Primer as well
as How to use IIJ-PPP and I cant seem to get IIJ-PPP to work. I
understand IIJ-PPP is the "recommended" ppp for FreeBSD and I would
like to get it to work, if only to see what I'm doing wrong. 
I am able to run pppd!

The .ppp.conf looks like this:
# Default setup. Always executed when PPP is invoked.
#
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 38400
 set phone 20123
 disable pred1
 deny pred1
 disable lqr
 deny lqr
 set openmode active
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATS41.4=1 OK ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 100 CONNECT"
 set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: xxxxx assword: xxxxxx ascend ppp"
 set ifaddr 123.4.56.78/16 123.4.90.1/16 255.255.255.0
 add 0 0 123.4.90.1

Any hints?
