I wondered this too, have been listening to linux for dumbies, and it looks
like you can do it through the networking control panel, but the text way
to it hasn't been discussed yet. If x worked as good as ms win as far as
screen reading went, things would be great, but seeing it doesn't yet, it's
hard to discover.
I heard redhat uses commands like ifup ppp0 to get ppp up, but I'm almost
certain that ifconfig isn't the config utility that you can use with ppp
I've tried it before to experiment with an interface and changing it's
parameters but it always requires a reconnect to get net access again.

setting up ppp or do I have to do this one by hand.
