These are just names for your ppp to lookup what entries to pay attention
to. If you fire ppp with the simple command "ppp" it will execute
the entries after "default". On the other hand, if you want to
execute another set of settings for ppp, you could put them
after another name that you make up. So I could make active the
settings after pppoe: by executing;
# ppp -ddial -nat pppoe
or
# ppp -ddial -nat default
would execute the settings after default:
or if no name is given, like;
# ppp -ddial
then it goes to the settings under default:
default: # or name_of_service_provider
set device PPPoE:rl0 # replace xl1 with your ethernet device
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set authname whatever
set authkey whatever
set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish
set dial
set login
set ifaddr 209.188.66.29 206.221.248.4
add default HISADDR
nat enable yes # if you want to enable nat for your local net
pppoe:
set device PPPoE:rl0
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set speed sync
enable lqr

For DSL there is no phone number. You just need your login and password.
Providing you do -not- have a IP static address your box will
find out what the IP address is during the negotiation.
The details of your ppp connection are in /var/log/ppp.log
You can monitor the connection with tail -f /var/log/ppp.log

All the information goes in your ppp.conf, that is, your login and
your password.
