Would the TUN device really be much different from any random PPP device? Either is a point-to-point connection. Granted, with current Windoze versions, SMB and all that stuff isn't bound to PPP devices by default but is likely that the user wants it bound to TUN, however, there are convenience features like --ifconfig. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
