Hi...

In the README file for ppp in /usr/doc/pppd it says:

   2.  Make sure pppd is where dip thinks it is: /usr/lib/ppp/pppd, or
   make a link from there to where pppd really is.  (Or re-compile dip
   to tell it where pppd is on your system - see pathnames.h).

Now, if I were to fire up a connection with DIP using ppp.dip in the examples
for dip (of course, modifying it to my purposes) then it can't find a pppd
to execute because there is no /usr/lib/ppp directory for dip to execute a
pppd in.  Making the directory and symlinking it seems to make it work.
