You could also try installing c-mserver.  Its a fairly useful tool to
provide lots of diff platforms with the ability to bring up/down your ppp
connection (on the *nix box) via a nice GUI.  Its very flexible.  The
server hasnt been updated in a long while, but, I havent heard any probs
with
it (or had myself) http://cpwright.villagenet.com/mserver
(this bloody url has troubles lately.  I cant access it at the
moment.  If you cant access the site and cant find the prog any where
else, lemme know, and I can send you the source.  its roughly 500k, I
have c-mserver-0.5.5.tar.gz)  Clients (available for win32, linux, mac,
etc) are all provided from diff sites.  Try searching
http://www.freshmeat.net.  I use winmc client for my windows  clients.

hope this helps.
