I can tell that the Bell-Labs guys don't use PPP dialup much.  Not a
very refined interface for PPP...(no offense intended)  Shouldn't it
at least use a configuration file to specify phone number, username,
password, baud rate, etc.  then one could simply use something like:
ip/ppp <configfile> where a seperate config file could be used per
host?  (Similar to BSD's ppp command)  It's much easier that way than
specifying that many command switches!
