To address the original....there is a patch out there somewhere ( I _may_
be able to dig it up or it may now be standard) that uses multiple
entries in the users file, rather than the , passwd file to detect the
presence of the P for PPP , S for SLIP etc etc from one passwd entry.

There may be something better out now, ie only one users entry ????

I may be wrong but I have the users files specified using the "UNIX" entry
and without this no dial up occurs.
