[openbeosnetteam] Re: How to do PPP?

Actually I think I prefer adding some of the flexibility of the unix type
approaches. Namely we allow for a default, but also named connections, so we
can call pppconfig work to dial work and pppconfig isp to dial the isp.

Anyway, regardless it seems like we're keeping the basics in kernel and as
modules, so time for me to add some more code :)
