Unless you are allowing non-root users to establish the link, just delete that file and use /etc/ppp/options. I have only one remote user using ppp (non-dedicated phone line); she's using kppp during the week and uses cron to auto-dial on weekends when she's out of town and wants to access her home system.

The "tools" are in need of more work IMHO... To provide more help, it would be useful to know if you have a dedicated/shared phone line; demand dialing makes ppp somewhat transparent if you have a dedicated line... > god I hate pppd in linux,, works sometimes, other times it doesn't > regardless of what I do...

Does this mean you want to redial on link failure? Won't happen without 'demand' dialing (dedicated phone line), IIRC. HTH, Pierre
