Hello all, 
   I have what appears to be a small problem with ppp.  I use iij-ppp for
on-demand connections to my ISP via a modem, running on FBSD 2.1.5.  I
have basically 2 small errors, but I suspect they are related... when the
system boots, PPP gives an error 

SIOCAIFADDR: File exists

but appears to work just fine.  Then a minute or two later I also get the
following message on the console

<date> karakorum routed[52]: deleting route to interface tun0 (timed out)

I've gone through all the handbook, the man pages for ppp and routed, and
triple checked everything.  But I still have no clue why it is giving me
this.  Any ideas, anyone? 
  Thanks in advance, 
      //Lucas.
