There are places where it's called /etc/ppp/ppp.conf 1.2.1.3.1 PPP and Static IP Addresses You will need to edit the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf configuration file. It should look similar to the example below. Other places it's simply referred to as ppp.conf Line 6 & 7: The dial string. User PPP uses an expect-send syntax similar to the chat(8) program. Refer to the manual page for information on the features of this language. Note that this command continues onto the next line for readability. Any command in ppp.conf may do this if the last character on the line is a ``\'' character. Would it make sense to change all instances of ppp.conf to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf? -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
