The easiest way is to setup 2 user account for each user.(using add user or edit /etc/passwd file directly) &nbsp;One is the shell account and the other is the ppp account(put a P in front of user). &nbsp;They show you how to do this in the linux isp howto at:(they even have some neat scripts)<br />

Also you need to setup a getty(agetty, getty_ps, or mgetty) on the modem/serial port in question. &nbsp;That is setup in the /etc/inittab file.<br />
