Tony,
Yes, I did find out how to sort out the tap modules - it was in the mailing
list archive. Basically, it appears to be something to do with ports. One
mailing suggested adding the following to the /etc/conf.modules file:
alias tap0 ethertap
options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0
Unfortunately, this causes chat to fail so I had to add this to the
/etc/diald.conf file:
fifo /etc/diald.ctl
tcpport 6500
This forces the first 2 ports to be used & then tap works fine on the third.
Don't ask me what's going on here, I'm staying blissfully ignorant but at
least it works!
Yours,
John Grange
