Brian, you rock.  With your patches (applied verbatim):

tomcat:bmah% ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.1.1.1 --> 10.1.1.2 netmask 0xffffffff
        Opened by PID 28304
tomcat:bmah% ping 10.1.1.2
PING 10.1.1.2 (10.1.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.1.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=7.724 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=6.757 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=6.553 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.1.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=7.384 ms

(If I had needed to adjust the port for the ucom connection, that would
have been in the block of code with "XXX Should attach a ucom for each
connection", yes?)

Have to go off and do ${REALWORK} now...I'm looking forward to playing
with this more tonight (might finally be able to HotSync all my data
onto this new gadget).

Thanks!

Bruce.
