1. Am I "Warm" or "Cold" :

create an /etc/ifconfig.tun0 file ?
e.g. inet 82.69.xxx.x [my static IP] netmask 255.255.255.255

put	network=YES 	in rc.conf ?

put	ifconfig_tun0="up" 	in rc.conf ?

2. How useful will the documentation for PPPoE be if I try to read
between the lines and extrapolate to PPPoA?

3. Where do I set the mtu to 1492 e.g.

TIA
