Thanks. I figured that out myself a few days ago.
Migrating from slackware, I naturally looked in /etc/ppp/options and was
terrified to see nothing but "lock". It was several days before I found
where netcfg was stashing the info: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp.
This ties into my earlier comment that a "roadmap" would be really
helpful until the bulk of the Linux community "sees the light" and all
the HOWTOs switch over to the RedHat way. :)

Excellent.
