I'm sending you the ppp scripts which were sent to me. Install them and
type /etc/ppp/ppp-up to start ppp. /etc/ppp/ppp-down kills ppp.
Make sure ppp-up, ppp-down, and ppp-connect are all executable (chmod
o+x filename). Also, you need to be root to run this script.

NO. Actually, there is a pppd in the standard 1.1 distribution, which
I'm using successfully.

Yes, but as above, you don't need to (though you can if you wanted to).
