I have put together a web page for people who would like to connect to
AT&T Worldnet Internet Service from Linux using PPP. The set up will be
similar for other ISP's. The scripts/source is free and it takes care of
almost everything for you.

1. User PPP with AT&T Worldnet?
I would like to run "user ppp" to connect to at&t worldnet. Is user ppp
the same as iijp or whatever it is called.
Here is the relevant information from a file called "att.sr" as follows:
[Dial-In Configuration]
Password=123lkjd86 #password
Note: The above values are made up, but username does have the form
Phone=+1 (703) 685-8700
SiteName=AT&T WorldNet
[IP]
DNSAddress=204.127.129.1
DNSAddress2=204.127.160.1
Enabled=Yes
IPAddress=0.0.0.0
DomainName=worldnet.att.net
I notice there is no gateway and netmask. I called at&t, and they say
that they don't use these.
The IP address is dynamically assigned and in the form 199.70.x.x. And I
believe worldnet uses CHAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
