[ale] Re:PPP

	Usually, when I am in a crunch to get PPP up, I do the following:

	minicom
	Dial up ISP, establish a PPP connection on the ISP's end.
	<Control Z> Q (or Alt Q)
	Leave Without Reset? Yes

	#/usr/sbin/pppd -detach defaultroute crtscts modem /dev/ttyS1
38400
	Wait a sec or so.

	#/sbin/ifconfig
	Make sure you see stuff show up for "ppp0".
	Use net as you wish.

	Use <Control C> to kill pppd / hence hang up the modem.
	#/usr/sbin/pppd -detach defaultroute crtscts modem /dev/ttyS1
38400 ^C
