Yes it works, but there are a few features it would be nice to have before it's unleashed on the world. Like a way to explicitly bring up the link when running in auto mode. It often takes me two or three tries to connect to my ISP, by which time a program that's attempting to open a socket has usually timed out. In the past, I've handled this by using invoking ppp interactively when I'm present and using ppp -background for cron jobs. Now I'm forced to use ppp -auto and my cron jobs keep timing out. :-( -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
