My Internet connexion works correctly, except for the fact that it does
not start automatically: I still have to "pppd call speedtch" to connect.

The ppp package that I installed in Gentoo is ppp-2.4.3-r10. The ebuild
script states that /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 is no longer used, and that
everything is done by the "module" /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/pppd.

Trying to interpret that, I removed net.ppp0:

rc-update del net.ppp0,

and I wrote /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 like this:

modules=( "pppd" )
config_ppp0=( "ppp" )
PEERS="speedtch".

It did not work, presumably (at least) because the rcscript contains no
reference to a "PEERS" variable.

So I tried to replace the third line by the enumeration of the speedtch
components, as shown in /etc/conf.d/net.example. But here I have a
difficulty, because I can't find how to introduce the vpi/vci values
(8.35 in my case). I tried to put them as a telephone number (as
suggested by somebody somewhere), without any luck. I also tried things
like vpi_ppp0=8, vci_ppp0=35: it does not work either.

The solution still escapes me, although I feel that it should not be
very far. Could someone give me an indication?
