>This document provides guidance to people who wish to use Linux and PPP to
dial into a PPP server and set up an IP connection using PPP. It assumes
that PPP has been compiled and installed on your Linux machine (but does
briefly cover reconfiguring/recompiling your kernel to include PPP support).</P
><P
>Whilst DIP (the standard way of creating a SLIP connection) can be used
to set up a PPP connection, DIP scripts are generally quite complex. For
this reason, this document does NOT cover using DIP to set up a PPP
connection.</P
><P
>Instead, this document describes the standard Linux PPP software
(chat/pppd).</P
