- <title>Setting Up PPP</title>
-
-<para>
-
-If no network was configured during the first stage of the installation,
-you will next be asked whether you wish to install the rest of the system
-using PPP. PPP is a protocol used to establish dialup connections with modems.
-If you configure the modem at this point, the installation system will be able
-to download additional packages or security updates from the Internet during
-the next steps of the installation.
-If you don't have a modem in your computer or if you prefer to configure
-your modem after the installation, you can skip this step.
-
-</para><para>
-
-In order to configure your PPP connection, you will need some information
-from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), including phone number, username,
-password and DNS servers (optional). Some ISPs provide installation guidelines
-for Linux distributions. You can use that information even if they don't
-specifically target Debian since most of the configuration parameters
-(and software) is similar amongst Linux distributions.
-
-</para><para>
-
-If you do choose to configure PPP at this point, a program named
-<command>pppconfig</command> will be run. This program helps you
-configure your PPP connection. <emphasis>Make sure, when it asks you
-for the name of your dialup connection, that you name it
-<userinput>provider</userinput>.</emphasis>
-
-</para><para>
-
-Hopefully, the <command>pppconfig</command> program will walk you
-through a trouble-free PPP connection setup. However, if it does not
-work for you, see below for detailed instructions.
-
-</para><para>
-
-In order to setup PPP, you'll need to know the basics of file viewing
-and editing in GNU/Linux. To view files, you should use
-<command>more</command>, and <command>zmore</command> for compressed
-files with a <userinput>.gz</userinput> extension. For example, to
-view <filename>README.debian.gz</filename>, type <userinput>zmore
-README.debian.gz</userinput>. The base system comes with an editor
-named <command>nano</command>, which is very simple to use, but does
-not have a lot of features. You will probably want to install more
-full-featured editors and viewers later, such as
-<command>jed</command>, <command>nvi</command>,
-<command>less</command>, and <command>emacs</command>.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Edit <filename>/etc/ppp/peers/provider</filename> and replace
-<userinput>/dev/modem</userinput> with
-<userinput>/dev/ttyS<replaceable>&num;</replaceable></userinput> where
-<replaceable>&num;</replaceable> stands for the number of your serial
-port. In Linux, serial ports are counted from 0; your first serial
-port <phrase arch="i386">(i.e., <userinput>COM1</userinput>)</phrase>
-is <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> under Linux.
-
-<phrase arch="powerpc;m68k">On Macintoshes with serial ports, the
-modem port is <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> and the printer port is
-<filename>/dev/ttyS1</filename>.</phrase>
-
-The next step is to edit
-<filename>/etc/chatscripts/provider</filename> and insert your
-provider's phone number, your user-name and password. Please do not
-delete the <quote>\q</quote> that precedes the password. It hides the
-password from appearing in your log files.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Many providers use PAP or CHAP for login sequence instead of text mode
-authentication. Others use both. If your provider requires PAP or
-CHAP, you'll need to follow a different procedure. Comment out
-everything below the dialing string (the one that starts with
-<quote>ATDT</quote>) in
-<filename>/etc/chatscripts/provider</filename>, modify
-<filename>/etc/ppp/peers/provider</filename> as described above, and
-add <userinput>user <replaceable>name</replaceable></userinput> where
-<replaceable>name</replaceable> stands for your user-name for the
-provider you are trying to connect to. Next, edit
-<filename>/etc/ppp/pap-secrets</filename> or
-<filename>/etc/ppp/chap-secrets</filename> and enter your password
-there.
-
-</para><para>
-
-You will also need to edit <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> and
-add your provider's name server (DNS) IP addresses. The lines in
-<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> are in the following format:
-<userinput>nameserver
-<replaceable>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</replaceable></userinput> where the
-<replaceable>x</replaceable>s stand for numbers in your IP
-address. Optionally, you could add the
-<userinput>usepeerdns</userinput> option to the
-<filename>/etc/ppp/peers/provider</filename> file, which will enable
-automatic choosing of appropriate DNS servers, using settings the
-remote host usually provides.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Unless your provider has a login sequence different from the majority
-of ISPs, you are done! Start the PPP connection by typing
-<command>pon</command> as root, and monitor the process using
-<command>plog</command> command. To disconnect, use
-<command>poff</command>, again, as root.

-Read <filename>/usr/share/doc/ppp/README.Debian.gz</filename> file for
-more information on using PPP on Debian.

-For static SLIP connections, you will need to add the
-<userinput>slattach</userinput> command (from the
-<classname>net-tools</classname> package) into
-<filename>/etc/init.d/network</filename>. Dynamic SLIP will require
-the <classname>gnudip</classname> package.

- <title>Setting Up PPP over Ethernet (PPPOE)</title>
-
-<para>
-
-PPPOE is a protocol related to PPP used for some broadband connections.
-There is currently no support in base configuration to help you set
-this up. However, the necessary software has been installed, which means
-you can configure PPPOE manually at this stage of the installation by
-switching to VT2 and running <command>pppoeconf</command>.
