The easy out on this kind of posting is to direct you to the documentation.
I'm going to take the easy out. I recently set myself up to do PPP to my
service provider, and found the docs to be most helpful. There is information
in the handbook, which is located in /usr/share/doc/handbook. Part 3 has poop
on setting up PPP. To get it running, cd into the above directory and run:

% lynx handbook.html

This presupposes you have lynx installed. If not, it is a package on the
CD-ROM.

Hope that helps.
