I'm trying to set up ppp dialout on a 2.1 system.  When I start the
User Process ppp, I get the message

   can't find ifindex
   open_tun: no such file or directory

I had set this up on a 2.0.5 system and don't recall setting up or doing
anything with an "ifindex" file.  Can someone explain this?
