Well, as in all things, that depends, (sigh). The options specified here
should work with most servers.
However, if it does NOT work, READ THE TEMPLATE FILE
(/etc/ppp/options.tpl) and the pppd man pages and
speak to the sysadmin/user support people who run the server to which
you are connecting.
You should also note that the connect scripts presented here also use
some command line options to pppd to make things a bit easier to change.
