[plug] PPPD

[Andrew Barbara]

I am using the following script...

/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -vf /etc/ppp/56k.Chat' 57600  /dev/ttyS1 modem crtscts defaultroute user (USERNAME)

Is there a way to do it in a script like this?

In '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0' file set the parameter
'USERCTL=yes' this will allow users to run the ppp connection.
Or run 'control-panel' and cofigure your ppp device and connection from
in the gui app.
