I've been using SLiRP for most PPP dial-in users, but need to set up a few
with permanent IP address assignments. I've tried setting up ijppp, but
have found the man pages of little use! Can someone help me answer the
following questions so I can get them online?

* What are the names of the mandatory configuration files in /etc/ppp?
  What should be in them? What should be in the files in the user's
  home directory? How do I set the system to allocate one, and only one,
  specific IP address to each user?

* Do I need to set up proxy ARP? If so, how do I do this? There's no mention
  of it in the docs.

* The computers that call will go through a UNIX login before getting to
  PPP, so CHAP and PAP verification may not be necessary. Is there any
  reason to leave them on?

* Each account has a dedicated phone line. How can I make sure no one else
  uses that line?

Any help with these questions would be MUCH appreciated. Apparently, the docs
on how to dial OUT are copious, but the ones on how to let folks dial IN
are very sparse indeed.
