PPP Remote Control
                                       
Version 0.7.1, November 4, 2000

  Upgrading
  
   Be careful when upgrading, because the configuration is still in the
   main file, so please make a copy of it before installing the new
   version.
   
   Another option would be to use the patch, simply gunzip it and run
   patch -p0 < patch-ppp-rc.cgi-0.7.1 to update your PPP remote control.
   
  What is does
  
     * Allow remote operation of pppd with the convenience of a web
       browser
     * Very useful in masquerading setups, eliminates the need to telnet
       into the server in order to start pppd, if diald or other fully
       automatic setups are inappropriate or undesirable
     * Start, stop and full status report of ppp connections
     * Seperate authentication methods possible for status or start and
       stop
       
  What you need
  
     * A running Linux system (other Unix-like operating systems may
       work)
     * Perl >= 5.001, with the CGI module and optionally (but preferably)
       the Net::Interface module
     * pppd >= 2.3.8, fully operational, with at least one entry in
       /etc/ppp/peers (or you won't be able to start connections)
     * a CGI capable web server. Apache for example.
       
  How to use it
  
     * copy .htaccess and ppp-rc.cgi into a cgi-bin directory
     * browse to it
     * Have Fun!
       
  That's it!
