CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration  file (see below) may contain any of the following key-value pairs. The
       format is key: value.  Note that these values will be  overwritten  by  the  corresponding
       command line options.

       start  The program that starts the connection

       stop   The program that stops the connection

       speed  This  program  reports  the  speed  of  the  connection. This program should output
              <speed>, that is, a number is expected and not the whole

       ifdown This program is run if the line goes down, and the stop program  hasn't  been  run.
              (Redial program)

       stampfile
              The  modification  time  of  this  file is used to calculate the amount of time the
              connection has been up. Something like touch <stampfile> should be run for this  to
              work.

FILES

       /var/run/wmppp.ppp0
              this  is  the  stamp  file  use  to determine the amount of time enlapsed since the
              connection came up. This file should be managed by the ip-up and  ip-down  scripts.
              On  Debian  systems,  /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00wmppp  creates  the file, and /etc/ppp/ip-
              down.d/00wmppp removes it.

       /etc/wmppprc
              System wide defaults

       $HOME/.wmppprc
              User defined settings

       /etc/wmppprc.fixed
              System wide fixed options, this overrides the user settings
