This is but one of the Linux HOWTO/FAQ documents. You can get the HOWTO\s from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO (this is the \official\ place) or via WWW from the Linux Documentation home page. You cannot rely on the HOWTO\s being posted to comp.os.linux.answers, as some news feeds have complained about their size.
Throughout this document, I have used the word \remote\ to mean 'the system at the other end of the modem link\. It is also called \peer\ in the PPP documentation. Another name for this is called the \gateway\ when the term is use for routing. Its IP address will show as the \P-t-P\ address if you use ifconfig.
