This ppp.secret contains the password for PAP-connecting to my ISP
(user djv). Lucy is the name of the host that runs ppp, the
lucy line is the line that pppctl needs.
Then I can, from another host on the network, connect with
pppctl -p AnoTheRPassWd lucy:3000 somecommand
You will need to add a
set server ppp
line in ppp.conf. (and check that "ppp" in /etc/services is what
you think and hope.)
