Well, just when I think I got everything sorted out ... Ethertap module
support was there, /etc/conf.modules has the necessary aliases, we
designated a single modem to dial from instead of trying to pick one ...
We still can't dial out. Now we're getting a new message in
/var/log/messages when I try to ping the other network:

Aug 8 09:35:52 dug pppd[796]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
Now, I'm curious about the char-major-108 message ... AFAIK, we've got all
of those charsets included in the kernel... and the 4th last line that says
"Connected to site 1.2.3.4" is misleading because the modem doesn't actually
dial anything.
Any other ideas? Here are some key config files that may or may not help:
