The current answer to this one is to read the pppd man page ;-)

Once all the info is in about the 1.2 kernel and the latest batch of
ADBTEST kernels, I'll see if I can update the machine-status page (and
get rid of a few of the more confusing columns ;-)

John Wittkoski has promised a revised PPP howto sometime in the future.
Perhaps it will contain a demand-dial ppp section.
In general, I'd like to keep as little as possible architecturally
independent info in the FAQ, leaving that to the *BSD FAQ. PPP generally
falls under this category.
Later.
