I was having that same problem a few months ago. Really, I have never
configured a box that did not have some variation on the problem of
connecting to UT over the Internet.
My recommendations are as follows (based on experience with netcfg 3
days ago):
* make sure you press SAVE at the bottom of each window that offers it
('network configurator/names, /interfaces).
* be sure you check the 'DEBUG CONNECTION' box on the 'Edit PPP
Interface' window, it is easy to forget that.
* try everything over and over and in different combinations.
eventually it will work :)
Big props to http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/slack/utppp/ as usual!
If you can't figure it out, let me know. I can come help you out.
Perhaps you could show me how to set the alias for /sbin/ifup ppp0.
