greetings all

i've been using kernel ppp (aka pppd) for a while now and was watching
a power-outage recovery during one of teh bad storms (losts of very
cold winds and rain, thankfully no lightening) we have had here in a
while.

currently, i start pppd with a script (by hand mainly) but the machine
has been stable (its on a small ups, local australian product and i'm
not a programmer so i've not worked out how to rejig teh many ups c
sources to make my sola work with with any of the american ones that
teh programes are written for).  sorry i digress.

where, would the pppd startup segment be best put in rc.local ?
rc.network or rc.conf ???? i tried with rc.network but got a hung
computer -- i tried reading up on teh booting process but the general
"Unix" book was more a tome on sys V r3.2  than a text on berkeley unix

some sugestions thoughts cc's appreciated (jlm at caamora dot com dot au)
as i'm not subscribed to -questions anymore.

also can anyone recommend a book to read up on topics like this (i have
teh greg lehey tomes, one through 2 and a ed 3 somewhere).

with regards and much thanks

jonathan
