Comments regarding the Package

QuickPPP by Claudio Leite <static@staticky.com>
--

 QuickPPP is a simple utility that sets up a PPP connection to your ISP
using pppd. While its fairly simple to use, its not foolproof, so make sure
you enter the right stuff! It uses PAP authentication, so it will work with
pretty much any ISP that works in Windows9x DialUp Networking (I think it
will work with all of them.) I've tried this with a few ISPs (Erols
Internet, Kreative Access) and it worked great.

To use:

	Log in as root (important)

	either-
	 1- run the precompiled binary (libc5)
		./quickppp

	 2- or if that fails, compile your own (requires gcc)
		gcc -o quickppp quickppp.c -s
		./quickppp

	Do steps 1, 2 and 3, and if all goes well, quit.
	Then run pppd from the root shell, and it should connect.
	If nothing happens after 60 seconds, check all your values
	(username, password, phone number, etc.)

If you can't get this to work at all, please email me at
static@staticky.com, and I'll help you.

Thank you for downloading QuickPPP!
