xisp for DEBIAN
----------------------

X-ISP is a nice interface to pppd for dial-up connections to your
favourite ISP(s). 

REQUIREMENTS

  In order to make use of the xisp package, you need to have ppp-2.2.0f
  or newer properly installed on your system. You also need to configure
  your modem for verbose result codes, as well as for reporting your
  true connection speed rather than the computer-modem connection speed.

ISP DEPENDENT SCRIPTS

  For isp dependent actions, you can add things to 
  /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}/xisp. Change the if-then part as needed.

NOAUTH WORKAROUND
  If your isp hangs up and you get a message "peer refused to authenticate",
  then comment the "auth" option in /etc/ppp/options.
  This is not the recommended way to solve this problem, and a new version 
  of xisp will deal with this, but in the meantime, this fix will help.
