=ppp-setup v1.3= 6/3/97======================================================

These files are to get Linux PPP running on a manual basis.  Make 
sure you have the following FIRST:

	- PPPD v2.2.0f or better
	- chat v1.8    or better

	- Linux kernel with PPP support compiled in
	- A serial port with a 16550A or better UART

============================================================================

*Please Note:*  I will place any in-line comments in {} brackets!
		Delete ALL lines in each section that start with these
		brackets or thins won't work.
	
		Every section is started by the file name that should
		be created with the section's contents.  You will also 
		see a command (chmod) that is used to change the 
		Read/Write/Execute permissions for this file.  Once you
		have create the file, save the changes, execute this
		given command for EACH section.

		In each section, make sure to replace both the 
		/dev/ttyS1 with the with your modem's COMM port.  If you
		aren't sure which port it is, from a command line, run
		the following (for Slackware users):  
		"/etc/rc.d/rc.serial".  This should give you an idea of
		what COMM ports are on your machine.

		Also, in each section, make sure to verify and/or replace 
		the various file PATHS for the programs with the correct
		ones.  If your not sure where say "pppd" is, at a Unix
		prompt, type "whereis pppd" and it should tell you.
