PPP dial-up script
Not that I don't love starting my PPP connection manually with minicom,
but I was hoping to configure the automated scripts.
I read the PPP HOW-TO, and think I have them set up ok, but I can't
figure out how to activate them.
What command do I use to get the script to fire up my modem and do
its stuff?
One other thing, I don't understand the last part of the HOW-TO about
starting PPP at the server end (which I have to do).

My PPP server randomly presents me with one of following prompts:
access-1>
access-2>
access-3>
access-4>
I don't understand how to translate the author's example to my server,
and since I don't know how to run the script in the first place, I
can't experiment.
O mighty Linux gurus, please alleviate my cluelessness.
