Can I get some information on pppd?
I am trying to dial out on a modem using pppd.

Thanks,

Essentially, you will have ppp_on and a ppp_off scripts to initiate the ppp or to kill it and free the port. You will also have a chat script that calls the pppd process. You can have multiple ppp_on and ppp-off. You can call them ppp_hp_on and ppp_hp_off as examples. Associated with these on-off scripts are the chat scripts that will do the work for you.
