1) Basically im setting up a small ISP to get the hang of things, and
I want to offer Shell and PPP accounts. Anyway, as I understand it all
PPP accounts have the letter P at the start of it (Pdowntown, or
Psmith).. Now, this sucks. How do I get rid of the P? 

2) Also, where is the init strings for my modem? 

3) Is there any programs out there that will allow you to monitor
users usage? I thought an accounting package came with BSDI but  I
guess not.

4) Where can I get howtos or faqs on setting up BSDI, the damn manual
tells you jack about it, basically it just skimms the surface!


 Thanks for the help, you guys are great! Keep up the good work..
