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.
