I have both PPP and slip running fight off the 2.0R release cdrom.
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".
Enjoy.
