If this is the same ppp I use when on dial-up, this would make me |
| 18 |
reconsider using Gentoo. If my DSL goes out, I must have ppp and it |
| 19 |
work. We are in the sticks and the one time it has gone out since |
| 20 |
getting DSL, it was out several days. |

I still have wvdial installed and all the needed ppp drivers in my |
| 23 |
kernel. I don't use it often but when I need it, I need it. For this |
| 24 |
user, I would have to have a way to keep ppp available if this is the |
| 25 |
same ppp I use for dial-up. |
