It's a file who's contents have first been 'tar'd up into one

For as long as I've been using Debian, I've had DSL and never
the need to use dial-up... Last Thursday though, my DSL modem
died and I tried connecting with dial-up.
Running 'pppconfig' worked fine and I'm able to connect.

Sure do. It points to my Linksys router/switch, 192.168.1.1.
With dial-up, that device is no longer valid.

I don't doubt that it does, but this machine probably *always*
uses ppp, right ?? That's not my case. I defined an actual
gateway, which I wouldn't do with a normal ppp config.
