The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) usually is used for dial-up lines, most common for over Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The following options allow to set up PPP dial-up connections.

ppp-provider provider

Denotes the file name of the provider configuration file within the /etc/ppp/peers/ directory which should be used to set up the PPP connection.

ppp-physdev interfaces

Denotes the physical (underlay) interface which is used to set up the PPP connection.

auto ppp0
iface ppp0
	ppp-provider local-ISP
