More progress on dial-up PPP... help?

[me at prestoncrawford.com]

So I can dial with user PPP and get connected. Not with kernel for some
reason, but I'll work on that later. Anyway, I get connected and netstat
looks as follows.

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            209.165.102.163    UGSc        1      142   tun0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0        0    lo0
192.168.0          link#1             UC          1        0    dc0
192.168.0.2        00:e0:3f:01:91:b6  UHLW        0       16    lo0
209.165.102.163    216.26.3.109       UH          2        0   tun0

So I have an IP address and I have a gateway, but for some reason I can't
ping the gateway. Any ideas?
