ppp setup issues..

[Gregory Guthrie <guthrie@mum.edu>]

Trying to get ppp setup;

what is the relation of the /etc/ppp.options_out and /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX ?

I presume that one is to either just edit options_out, which is used
directly by /etc/init.d/ppp for the startup pppd options, 
or,
change init.d/ppp to instead use /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX (XX changed
appropriately) and set the options there.

But,
the /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX file(s) are in a more verbose format, with
comments, multiple lines, etc.. which is not a valid format for use by pppd
as used in init.d/ppp.

?? Is the options.ttyXX file just documentation, on how to create one line
options_out like files? The header documentation there does not imply this.

Thanks.
