To fbsd_user: The line wrap may be something introduced by a mailer
rather than the way ppp.conf is actually formatted.

To Ali Nasseh: The best article I've found describing ppp setup in a
thorough, easy way is at the following link: <URL:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/06/14/FreeBSD_Basics.html>.  Since
the article was written, an additional requirement to connect has been
introduced - a non-root user who wishes to connect using ppp over a
dialup connection must be a member of the 'dialer' group.

Hope this helps,

Jud
