In the meantime I found # man and copied/edited this
- working - /usr/local/etc/rc.d - script:
-------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh -
#
# initialization/shutdown script for pppd
case "$1" in
start)
/usr/sbin/ppp -nat -ddial adsl && echo -n ' pppd'
;;
stop)
kill `cat /var/run/foo.pid` && echo -n ' pppd'
;;
*)
echo "unknown option: $1 - should be 'start' or 'stop'" >&2
;;
esac
------------------------------------------
