Please try both as an exercise :-) They are described in the docs (yet again !). Hint I (kernel PPP) You migh wish to define a /etc/ppp/peers and write an /etc/ppp/peers/your_isp script in which ... Hint II (user PPP) You migh wish to add a "allow users my_user1 my_user2 ... " in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ... Your "Internet" users should belong to the network group. Read the archives, too ! ;-) Both PPP work seamlessly for me.
