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
