I'm trying to use User Space PPP with FreeBSD 2.1.0. I've recompiled the 
kernel to include support for tun0, and have my chat script working and 
everything. When I start up ppp and dial it connects, log's in, and then 
switches to packet mode. However, when I switch to another window to try 
and telnet out nothing happens. My modem lights don't so much as blink 
which tells me that it's not even connecting to my DNS. When I try and 
telnet to an IP address it just sits there and the modem lights don't do 
a thing either. The routing tables when I type "show route" in ppp look 
fine also. 

I noticed in the PPP man page, it says when it starts talking PPP, that 
the prompt ppp on hostname switches to capital letters which it does not 
to on my machine. If it's switching to packet mode though isn't the ppp 
connection pretty much established? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
