Sheesh what an unnerving experience.  But blowing
away the ppp interface I had created did it -- after a reboot.

Now for the questions:

1) Obviously I don't want my interface active at boot, right?
I mean that *is* how this all got started, right?  But do I want
it active at all?  What exactly does "active" vs. "inactive" mean?
Does it have to be "active" to use it at all?  I'm afraid I don't
understand this very well.

2) The ISP HOWTO talks about an email server.  Are we
talking POP3, SMTP, or what?  What do I put where this
information is requested?

TIA,

Lance (who wonders how many megs of error messages are
in his log files now)
