asked for the settings. Note that for some reason, it doesn't ask you for
an ip address to put in /etc/resolv.conf, so in some situations you'll need
to edit it manually.

You can also set it so a user can bring it up and down, and
then you don't have to change to root. (/sbin/ifup ppp0 and
/sbin/ifdown ppp0, or use /usr/sbin/userctl to control it.)
I don't remember if Linuxconfig will set usercontrol, but if
not, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 and add
USERCTL=yes
