Of the two, I recommend PPP as wonderfulyl easy to configre and use. Here are the /etc/ppp/* files. You need to know ythe ip-addr that your service provider assigned to you (REMOTE.ISP.HOST.ADDR) and their gateway (REMOTE.ISP.GW.ADDR). The "pkill" command is a scipt what was posted that does a "ps" and greps for the program name supplied and sends it a kill signal. If yo don't want the pppd to restart atuoamtically, ignore all of "ip-down".
