	Fair warning: Myself and another (ssartor@planet.net) report that ezppp (at least on linux-pmac) has a bug that prevents you from making two successful connections between reboots. (Perhaps restarting ezppp would be sufficient? I haven't tested that.) jonh@cs.dartmouth.edu
	Re the previous comment: EZPPP-controlled PPP connections can indeed be reestablished by simply quitting EZPPP and restarting it. It's still a pain to deal with, but not as bad as restarting your machine. ert@alum.mit.edu
	I used to have problems sending long emails or uploading files to servers using ezppp. These problems were fixed by adding 'MTU' and '637' as separate arguments to pppd. taro@alum.calberkeley.org
