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.
