I use gnome-ppp without any problem. Regarding your above file, I
assume secret is replaced with your actual ISP file.
I've also written a couple scripts to start/stop ppp from the command
line (for regular PAP authentication which almost all ISP's use) that
I'll be happy to e-mail you if you want. I'm at work now and the
scripts are at home so send me a personal e-mail if you'd like them.
Regarding your home network and masquerading, once you have PPP
running, you should not have any problems using the IP-MASQ... HOWTO.
This is what I have (along with some other rules for rejecting
incoming connections, but this is all you need for masq).
# default policy for forwards is DENY
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
# masquerade local network
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
This assumes your home network is on 192.168.1.x and you've set the
gateway on the other machines to the IP address of your box with the
modem (192.168.1.1) for me.
HTH,
Dave
