Ah, you want the documentation at
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/sysconfig.html
It's not in tutorial format, but I'm pretty sure it has everything
you need to know to set up a PPP interface the way netcfg does.
The good news is that in the future sometime there will exist a
text-mode tool capable of setting up network devices using our
standard /etc/sysconfig way. :-)
