If you mean /etc/ppp/options had connect options and the like
in it then this is *WRONG*. /etc/ppp/options is for *global*
settings. If some distribution actually puts the full options
for a specific link in there you might as well send the CD
back for a refund and try something else. Surely no one is
being *paid* to be that dumb?!?
