[plug] Running pppd by command prompt.

[Marc Wiriadisastra]

Ok for the sake of explanation I have dsl and it turns on as I reboot my 
computer and its been way to long for me to remember how to use pppd 
since I always had a separate line for dialup.  I had a look up on the 
web and I have a link for ya to answer your question.

use pap.
