[plug] Running pppd by command prompt.

[Bennett, Phillip]

Try using wvdial.  AFAIK, this has auto connect and auto re-connect.  It's
command line driven, but a quick google should return some good results.

Another beginners question. I'm setting up internet sharing with my mandrake

server and a windows xp computer and want to know the best way to make the 
mandrake server dialup my isp when the XP computer wants to surf the net. I 
thinking I´ll need to telnet into the mandrake computer and initiate pppd.
Is 
there any other way? and how do you  run pppd by command prompt? I´ve only 
used the KDE GUI to run pppd

Thanks Again.

PS. I now look at windows as a games console OS!!
