I didn't have to chmod pppd, but I did have to check the "allow user to
control interface" (or something similar) box in netcfg. Also, if /sbin
is in the default user command path, the user can just type:
ifup ppp0
and:
ifdown ppp0
Of, using X windows, the user can invoke Start -> Programs -> Networking
-> Usernet (or just issue the "usernet" command) to control the link.
