[Computerbank] PPP and the CAISA Install

[Kylie Davies]

Hi David,

In Vic ...we use pppconfig (we used to have kppp - but it is proving a 
little buggy at the moment). With this said - we have group perms set up 
so that we have a dialout  and dip  group. All users go into the 
dialout/dip groups and can execute pon or poff as they like.

We have also created some dandy little icons for the desktop - these 
when clicked on activate pon or poff - depending on which icon you hit. 
It is quite sinple and easy to manage for new users.

Failing our icons not working - pon / poff in a terminal work fine.

Note: In pppconfig we just use the default provider - we dont change it, 
if changed you need to type pon nameofprovideryouentered.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Cheers,

Kylie
