When I try to run ppp -auto default this is the error I receive 
must specify dstaddr with auto mode.  

I have looked threw the man pages, but found nothing about dstaddr.
My isp assigns dynamic IPs.

Also how do you connect with ppp manually for example.

ppp

Then you get ppp prompt.

I would like to try this manually, but don't know how.

thanks
