Dump the last ifconfig. It looks like you are confusing the holy
Be-Jesus out of yourself. :>


206.42.5.253----->206.42.5.253   ? I don't think this is valid for PPP.


However, if you leave the tun0 device undefined, PPP will auto-magcly
ifconfig it with the right address (obtained from your provider)
