Re: Help w/ PPP



If your ISP makes a ppp connection with Windows and you do not need any
special login procedure, then Linux with PAP should work just fine. No
need for fancy connect scripts.

Make a chat script that will dial your ISP and waits for CONNECT and make
an options file that tells ppp to use PAP, enter your username and
password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and simply type pppd to start the
connection.

These goofy ppp-on and ppp-off scripts get people into more trouble than
they get them out of.
