1.	I have tried and failed at getting pppd to run as a non-root user.  I
have attached /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/ubunix who I believe are
the culprits.  Other info that may be useful

Permissions of /etc/ppp/pap-secrets    0600

2.	I am not able to get my ip-up script to run when the line comes up as
well as my ip-down script to run when the line goes down.  Attached for
your reading enjoyment.

Permissions of /etc/ppp/ip-up          0700
			   /etc/ppp/ip-down        0700
	
	I've been documenting the whole learning process and will put up a new
user tutorial on my website when I have everything humming along.  Thanks
for all the help so far.

Ian
