Subject: How do I start ppp without being root

I don't like having to SU everytime I start PPP.
I did a chmod o+x on all the ppp-scripts and I checked that pppd is
other+x, but still if I try to start ppp as anything other than root, I get
permission denied.  How can I change this?

#2
How do I get my prompt to change when I 'su root'?  If I 'su -' it does a
full login and that works, but that changes my directory and everything.

Thanks,
Rog
