ftp://ftp.quick.com.au/pub/unix/etc.ppp.cpio.Z
contains most the content of my /etc/ppp
The files included are:
doppp.sh reads options from .doppprc and establishes a
connection (can create chat script dynamically to
handle certain one-time passwd mechanisms)
ip-up
ip-down get invoked by pppd when interface status changes.
options just what I use.
ppplogin a simple shell script that helps on SunOS in
particular and does no harm on NetBSD.
Echoing a standard string before starting pppd makes
it easier to write the chat script.
To this lot you might want to add a file called nets
nets just provides a name for the remote net based on the
address used eg.
192.9.200.1:sun
ip-up for instance will look to see if there is a
sendmail mailertable named mailertable.sun and will
switch to it. Same goes for other important files.
On my laptop I use /etc/net.d to do the same sort of things...
Enjoy!
