Indeed, by design it is peer to peer. But in actual use it is mostly used in a client-server context. So maybe there would still be a sensible application of the above proposed general scheme, by splitting ppp into: A "client" package ppp that recommends: pppconfig and general focusses on the sort of infrastruture for tweaks that dialin users need. A "server" package that makes it especially easy to set up a dialin server. And maybe depends: on some mgetty or the like (I'm not an expert in the field). Cheers, Joost
