Here's the BEST document I've seen on the web for configuring ppp:

Written by Bill Unruh. It isn't a Linux HOWTO but it should be!!!
Thanks... Ben

Subject: Re: PPP connection
I thought I could answer this one correctly from memory, but I decided to
check the PPP HowTo anyway, just to be sure. The answer is there, explained
more clearly than I can. Just go to this URL:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO-11.html#root
This HowTo should be your first thought when you have a PPP question. It's
not perfect, but it's pretty good for the basics.
