Install pppd and pppconfig Debian packages. Make sure to put that
authorized non-root user in the "dip" group in /etc/group like this:
dip:x:30:username1:username2
the username is their login name.
You can dial in to your ISP with "pon" and off with "poff"
Make sure you add your nameserver IP addresses to /etc/resolv.conf
like so:
search yourdomain.com
nameserver ns.ip.add.ress
