Downloaded it, studied it, and for some reason, the "Connection closed
by foreign host." problem still persists (on page 7 of the faq)...

I have done everything that it suggests:

   Group=118 (netdial)
   root.netdial ownership on /usr/bin/ppp
   chmod'd to 4550 on /usr/bin/ppp

Checked ppp.sys for syntax errors, and deleted it, and retyped it
again and again...  Still nada.. <shrug>

Can the ppp software only work in one direction?  I have a dialout
going on ppp0, and want to do a dialin on ppp1... possible?
