I've compiled support for the tun device into the kernel of my gateway,
but have no idea how to use it.
There doesn't seem to be a man page for the tun device. I even ftp'd a
new copy of the manpages dist from 2.0-950210-SNAP to make sure I didn't
miss it during the upgrade.
Is there someplace in particular I should look for information regarding
this device?
