Actually, I already have that line. Here is the ppp.log showing it being
used.
Dec 5 13:19:37 piglet diald[295]: Running pppd: /usr/sbin/pppd -detach
modem crtscts mtu 1500 mru 1500 netmask 255.255.255.0 noauth
Don't I have to somehow pass a username and password to the ISP? I doubt
they would let me connect without one.
