There is no single PPP configuration file because it largely depends
on the following things:
* How your system is connected to the Net (a dedicated serial
connection, or a dial-up modem connection, etc.)
* How you log in before connecting (what prompts to expect
before sending login name and password, or whether or not
PAP is used, etc.)
* How you connect after logging in (you are automagically
connected after logging in, or you have to issue a command
to connect, etc.)
For a starter, try pppd and chat man pages.
