Robert,
In order to eliminate the Remote System Authentication Error,
you need to add the "noauth" option to the /etc/ppp/options
file.
For the TAP Errors...
Add to /etc/conf.modules the following
################################################
# tap device configuration
alias tap0 ethertap
options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0
alias tap1 ethertap
options tap1 -o tap1 unit=1
alias tap2 ethertap
options tap2 -o tap2 unit=2
alias tap3 ethertap
options tap3 -o tap3 unit=3
alias tap4 ethertap
options tap4 -o tap4 unit=4
alias tap5 ethertap
options tap5 -o tap5 unit=5
alias tap6 ethertap
options tap6 -o tap6 unit=6
alias tap7 ethertap
options tap7 -o tap7 unit=7
alias tap8 ethertap
options tap8 -o tap8 unit=8
alias tap9 ethertap
options tap9 -o tap9 unit=9
alias tap10 ethertap
options tap10 -o tap10 unit=10
alias tap11 ethertap
options tap11 -o tap11 unit=11
alias tap12 ethertap
options tap12 -o tap12 unit=12
alias tap13 ethertap
options tap13 -o tap13 unit=13
alias tap14 ethertap
options tap14 -o tap14 unit=14
alias tap15 ethertap
options tap15 -o tap15 unit=15
alias net-pf-17 af_packet # Network protocol families packets
###################################################
Create the tap devices with the corresponding "mknod /dev/tap* c 36
NN" command (NN starts at 16 for tap0 and goes incremented by 1 until
31 for tap15). You don't need to create all tap devices but it is
recommended at least one more than those you know that you'll need,
just to stay on the safe side.
