after you have succesfully launched pppd, you must verify that your linux
box knows what IP paquets it should send to this new 'network' interface.
This is done with the command "route". you should set the default route
to the ppp link so that it sends all paquets that are not local-network
to the internet.
route add default ppp0
should do it right for you.
To deconnect, you have to kill pppd

Objet: How do I disconnect?
During these past few days I've been trying to get my linux box to
connect to my ISP. I read the ISP-Connectivity HOWTO and mini-HOWTO,
which proved very useful. I can now physically connect to my ISP.
What I do is:
pppd conncect 'chat -f /etc/ppp/chatscript'
The modem dials and connects. I'm sure it must initialize the PPP
protocol since I don't get disconnected after a minute or so (which is
what my ISP does if PPP is not initialized properly).
When I try to access any form of internet resource (such as www, ftp,
ping, etc) it gives me a "Network unreachable" message immediately...
how come?
And finally, when it's time to call it a session and disconnect, I have
no idea how to... so it's over to the phone, pick up and wait for
carrier loss.
Any ideas?
