	it aint ppp.  it may well be the configuration that the user has 
spec'ed to ppp, but it aint ppp.

	excuse me for being so bloody insistent.  it took a while to get 
ppp set up correctly.  being the kook that i am, i keep hammering on it 
till i got the setup right (for me at least).  now everyone at my 
previous employer uses my config files for ppp, works like a charm.

	BUT you gotta beware of "delete ALL" and setup up your routes 
first, during boot, as in:

ifconfig tun0 inet 198.138.38.205 198.138.38.21 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 198.138.38.205

	then in /etc/rc.local get ppp going and active
/usr/sbin/ppp -auto atinc
/sbin/ping -c 10 198.138.38.21

	ONLY THEN do you start X.  i use xdm ;)
