Am overjoyed because I'm finally configuring this.
The trouble is I'm at a loss at how to "connect" per se.
Actually I remembering configuring the ppp when I installed Debian
but that's another story.
So basically I'm almost through with the configuring
and then I'm at a loss what to do next.

No, it means that you have to read the pon manpage. It should be there
if you were able to run pppconfig, because it depend
Am using pppconf in root by doing pppcong& and it's brought up the menu.
Unfortunately it does not want to use the up and down kjeys properly at this

We had problems with this configuration of the keyboard at various stages.
Is there an alternative?
Otherwise it seems to do it right.

You already have everything you need installed. Run pppconfig as root to
configure ppp (it sounds like you have already done that). Use pon to
bring up the connect

Wow. Thanks.
