man pppd, man chat provided sufficient info to allow me to simply type "pppd"
and have it auto-dial, login and setup PPP. Here's my /etc/ppp/options file:
/dev/cuaa1 57600 connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/pppd-login"
crtscts # enable hardware flow control
modem # modem control line
noipdefault # remote PPP server must supply your IP
# address. If the remote host doesn't send
# your IP during IPCP negotiation , remove
# this option
passive # wait for LCP packets
domain myisp.net.au # put your domain name here
:203.60.17.16 # put the IP of remote PPP host here
# it will be used to route packets via PPP
# link if you didn't specified the
# noipdefault option change this line to
# <local_ip>:<remote_ip> defaultroute put
# this if you want that PPP server will
# be your default router
... and my /etc/ppp/pppd-login file (chat script - we don't want it on the
command line password and all now do we :-)
