HELP  !

	When I boot up here is what I see for tun0,  CAN ANYONE tell me what is
going on in this string of stuff  ??????

sysconfig:
  ifconfig_tun0="inet machine.airmail.net 0.0.0.0 betnast 0xffffff00"

MY MACHINE ON BOOT
	ifconfig ioctl(CIOCAIFADD):Destination address required
	tun0: flags=8010<POINTTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500


online Doc says:
	tun0: flags=51<UP,POINTTOPOINT,RUNNING> mtu 1500
		inet x.x.x.x --> y.y.y.y netmask 0xffffffff

I think this is the source of my connection problems. I can connect but
my connectionb times out due to inctivity.  Any pointer as to which
direction to go would greatly be appreciated.  

You can mail me direct at  jumper@airmail.net if this is a flamable
question.  THANKS !!!!

Martin
