4.2. Create your own PPP configuration files

By default, the FreeBSD installation process creates a number of sample configuration files in the /etc/ppp directory. Please take some time to review these files; they were derived from working systems and represent the features and capabilities of the PPP program.

I strongly encourage you to learn from these sample files and apply them to your own configuration as necessary.

For detailed information about the `ppp` program, read the ppp manpage:

# man ppp

For detailed information about the `chat` scripting language used by the PPP dialer, read the chat manpage:

# man chat

The remainder of this section describes the recommended contents of the PPP configuration files.
