I'm having problems setting up user ppp for FreeBSD.  I'm trying to set it up 
for a dynamic ip number on tun0 (using cuaa3).  I followed the instructions in 
FreeBSD's online handbook for setting up user ppp to the best of my ability, 
and it says I'm connected, but when I try to do anything, like telnet, it 
pauses for about a min or so then gives me a "host name lookup failure" or 
some such.  I have been working on this for the past few days and am fed up 
with it.  If anyone knows how to do this, or knows where some more 
documentation is on this subject, please let me know.

Thanks

Jake T.
