Alias? What alias?

Yep - you gotta take care of /etc/myname /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf
/etc/defaultdomain as a minimum. And you gotta set up your /etc/ppp/options
file.

That sounds to me as though pppd doesn't know what it should be naming
its pid file - it should be /var/run/pp0.pid
I recommend getting one of the ppp kits from puma. I put one together a
while ago that Bill Studenmund packaged up and posted, and recently I put
together a newer kit that includes dial-on-demand stuff. I can't
remember the exact location for the older kit, but the newer one can be
found at:
