Acknowledgements
A growing number of people have provided me with assistance in preparing this document. Special thanks go to Al Longyear for the guidance on PPP itself (if there are mistakes here, they are mine not his), Greg Hankins (maintainer of the Linux Howto system) and Daniel Berinson for assistance with the linuxdoc-sgml package when it started to choke on my text (3 days before a publication dead line, no less!) and Debi Tackett (of MaximumAccess.com) for many helpful suggestions on style, content order, logic and clarity of explanations.
Finally, to the many people who have contacted me by email offering comments - my thanks. As with all HOWTO authors, the satisfaction of helping is all the payment we receive and it is enough. By writing this HOWTO I am repaying in a small way the debt I - and all other Linux users - owe to the people who write and maintain our OS of choice.
