DESCRIPTIONsmpppd is a daemon that controls several internet connections.
Use a frontend like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet to control the
connections and retrieve status informations. Those frontends can also
run on different hosts.
The configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2 but there
are some additional options available in the file /etc/smpppd.conf.
