I finally got ppp to launch and connect but now, even though I followed
all of the steps in the how to, I am unable to have my ip routed.  When I
do a netstat -i it only talks about the ae0 devices and not about ppp.
Let me clarify.  The ae0 ends up getting an address while the ppp0 and
ppp1 stay with the <link> next to them.  What could be happening?  Do I
have to specify my internal network nodes?  Where do I do that at since it
wasn't in the ip-nat howto?  I am using 193.1.1.1-193.1.1.22 for my LAN
ips.  Anyone know if that could be mucking it up.  It just still looks
like something is wrong with the ppp connection.

Thanks,

Paul
