The ppp.setup.tar.gz needs a re-work. It would be good to get it out
of my home directory on puma, for one thing! Also, adding CHAP/PAP
support would be good. I'd also like to add some of the changes I've
come up with to support two ppp connections at once (ppp to my ISP
and to my SE/30), as a prelude to someone running the firewall kit.

Also, some people who used the setup earlier said they would work
on a FAQ for it. Including it would help a lot too. (Even if they
could send parts of a FAQ, that would help!)

It really needs to be integrated into the online info in the rest of
the FAQ.

So additions would be appreciated!

Take care,

Bill
