I don't know how helpful this is, cuz I run FreeLSD, but essentially pptp and ppp are rather the same. I have /etc/ppp/ppp.conf that looks like:
Actcom: set authname "aris@IActcom" set authkey "putpasswordhere" set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 add default HISADDR enable dns set mtu 1452 [If ppp scriptos on linux have slightly different syntax --> use yours here] and I hit it by doing a simple: /usr/local/sbin/pptp 10.0.0.138 Actcom& Note: the whole RELAY_PPP1 thing is not mandatory, at least on the ALCATEL modems. notice I don't use it.
