oh :) I thought that the script started it at the other end :)
OK, for the really dumb question: how do I start ppp on the other end on a
debian box? it seems to be with pppd to start the daemon, but I'm having
trouble figuring out the man & doc pages. I've figured out to insert
the ppp & shlc modules on the host, but I'm not clear on what else to do.
When I type pppd when logged in manually, I just get a bunch of nonsense
characters.
