Well, then I do not know. The unit option works such that the system
tries to use the requested unit, but if that is not available, it will
just ask for the next available unit. So there may be some reason why 3
is not available, or perhaps your kernel ppp deos not allow anything but
the next unit number (you never did tell us which kernel youwere
running-- sounds like a very old one), but I have no idea if that is the
problem.
