There is alot of good and useful information availible, just you need to weed through a lot of `unneeded' information. >How-To-Repeat: Set up a ppp connection (which I have not done in awhile, just did, and read over the section). >Fix: Perhaps an overhaul. Move some of the manual connection information I added toward the bottom and name it `debugging' and perhaps clean up a few of the other paragraphs. From what I noticed, some ISP's offer information regarding `script connections' which was what I used for my girlfriend's laptop, perhaps this should be mentioned. The ppp.conf file needs a slight update. Perhaps the first part could be a walkthrough, and then put other options toward the middle of the document, and debugging at the bottom. I lack the time to do this myself. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
