Re: cleaning up bad configuration
The creative juices that flow while under the influence always
look really bad the next day. :-)
You are interested in the following:
/etc/ppp <--- directory
/etc/ppp.chatscript
/etc/ppp.options_out
Also; if in your state you thought it would be a good time to
recompile your kernel, make sure you have select ppp from
the network options list
