- # async character map -- 32-bit hex; each bit is a character

- # Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network
- # packets to be sent or received.
- # Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in

- # Use software flow control (i.e. XON/XOFF) to control the flow of data
- # on the serial port.
- #xonxoff
-
- # Specifies that certain characters should be escaped on transmission
- # (regardless of whether the peer requests them to be escaped with its
- # async control character map). The characters to be escaped are
- # specified as a list of hex numbers separated by commas. Note that
- # almost any character can be specified for the escape option, unlike
- # the asyncmap option which only allows control characters to be
- # specified. The characters which may not be escaped are those with hex
- # values 0x20 - 0x3f or 0x5e.

- # Set the MRU [Maximum Receive Unit] value to <n> for negotiation. pppd
- # will ask the peer to send packets of no more than <n> bytes. The
- # minimum MRU value is 128. The default MRU value is 1500. A value of
- # 296 is recommended for slow links (40 bytes for TCP/IP header + 256
- # bytes of data).

-
- # Disables the default behaviour when no local IP address is specified,
- # which is to determine (if possible) the local IP address from the
- # hostname. With this option, the peer will have to supply the local IP
- # address during IPCP negotiation (unless it specified explicitly on the
- # command line or in an options file).

- # Enables the "passive" option in the LCP. With this option, pppd will

- # the peer (instead of exiting, as it does without this option).
- #passive

- # With this option, pppd will not transmit LCP packets to initiate a

- # Increase debugging level (same as -d). If this option is given, pppd
- # will log the contents of all control packets sent or received in a
- # readable form. The packets are logged through syslog with facility
- # daemon and level debug. This information can be directed to a file by
- # setting up /etc/syslog.conf appropriately (see syslog.conf(5)). (If
- # pppd is compiled with extra debugging enabled, it will log messages
- # using facility local2 instead of daemon).
- #debug
-
- # Append the domain name <d> to the local host name for authentication
- # purposes. For example, if gethostname() returns the name porsche,
- # but the fully qualified domain name is porsche.Quotron.COM, you would
- # use the domain option to set the domain name to Quotron.COM.

- # Enable debugging code in the kernel-level PPP driver. The argument n
- # is a number which is the sum of the following values: 1 to enable
- # general debug messages, 2 to request that the contents of received
- # packets be printed, and 4 to request that the contents of transmitted
- # packets be printed.
- #kdebug n
-
- # Set the MTU [Maximum Transmit Unit] value to <n>. Unless the peer
- # requests a smaller value via MRU negotiation, pppd will request that
- # the kernel networking code send data packets of no more than n bytes
- # through the PPP network interface.

- # If this option is given, pppd will send an LCP echo-request frame to
- # the peer every n seconds. Under Linux, the echo-request is sent when
- # no packets have been received from the peer for n seconds. Normally
- # the peer should respond to the echo-request by sending an echo-reply.
- # This option can be used with the lcp-echo-failure option to detect
- # that the peer is no longer connected.
- lcp-echo-interval 30
-
- # If this option is given, pppd will presume the peer to be dead if n
- # LCP echo-requests are sent without receiving a valid LCP echo-reply.
- # If this happens, pppd will terminate the connection. Use of this
- # option requires a non-zero value for the lcp-echo-interval parameter.
- # This option can be used to enable pppd to terminate after the physical
- # connection has been broken (e.g., the modem has hung up) in
- # situations where no hardware modem control lines are available.
