My suggestion(enhancement) is more refined. The current way doesn't allow
some programs to be run before others. Plus, I have more "runlevels". This
would allow for an external dialer, instead of having to have the <connect>
option in pppd.
Please reread the original post, and think everything through carefully(not
meant as a flame).
