Try using the attached script to configure PPP ..... to this day its the
ONLY thing I use. It gets all the files configured properly in less
than 5 minutes, then all thats required is a minor bit of tweaking
ppp.conf & a quick read of man ppp to find out about what switch
suits your requirements.

| This script automagically sets up user ppp for your particular |
| system's setup according to questions that you answer. It will |
| then write the appropriate files in /etc/ppp/ for you so that |
| you can easily be on your way to dial up network connectivity. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| The following files will be modified: |
| |
| /etc/ppp/ppp.conf Information about your ISP, modem, etc. |
| /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup Used after a connection is established. |
| /etc/ppp/ppp.secret* Allows you to change ppp on the fly. |
| /etc/hosts Contains the IP addresses of your machines. |
| /etc/host.conf Instructions for the resolver. |
| /etc/resolv.conf Tells the resolver how to behave. |
| |
| *Will not be written. |

| Before you start, it is assumed you are roughly in this position: |
| |
| * You have an account with an ISP ,and your modem already configured. |
| |
| * You know your ISP's phone number(s). |
| |
| * You know your login name and password. |
| |
| * You know the IP address of your ISP's gateway. If you don't know |
| it, don't worry. We can make one up. |
| |
| * Your ISP's netmask setting. Again, if you don't know it, we can |
| safely use a netmask of 255.255.255.0. |
| |
| * The IP address of one or more nameservers. You MUST have this! |
| |
| * If your ISP has given you a static IP address, you will need to |
| have it handy. If not, we can configure PPP to accept any IP |
| number. |

| Ok, now I'm going to write the following PPP related files: |
| |
| /etc/ppp/ppp.conf This will contain your modem's port number, |
| the speed at which we'll talk to your modem, |
| the dial string, the login string, your ISP's |
| phone number, your username and password, |
| and your static IP address if you have one. |
| |
| /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup This will contain the lines delete ALL, and |
| add 0 0 HISADDR. This will delete all of |
| the existing routing tables for the tun |
| device, and add a default route to your ISP's |
| gateway. |
| |
| /etc/ppp/ppp.secret* This will not be written, but it allows you |
