all default scripts will not change except the following.  feel free to use these.  to connect via ppp to telerama copy these files and edit them to suit your needs.  then issue the command #/sbin/ifup ppp0# to open the connection.  uncomment by removing any # that is not followed by spaces.  the only exception to this is the chat-ppp0 script which must have a blank line at the end.  all of the scripts are sorted as to location and filenames are the first line of each script.  it is also reccommended that you read any and all documentation that comes with your linux distribution reguarding making a ppp connection.  if you have any questions you can email support@telerama.com or call 1-412-682-0171
