NAME
     PppManager - PPP Manager

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaPppCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.  For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
     accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add
     a User Account" and "Modify a User Account".

     In the Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

     The PPP manager displays a list of incoming and outgoing PPP entry that
     is created on your system. You can create a PPP entry to be used either
     over an ISDN or modem line. Please refer to ppp(1M) for more information
     on PPP.

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration
     task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.  See
     addpppin(1M), addpppout(1M), execppp(1M), getallpppinisdn(1M),
     getallpppinmodem(1M), getallpppoutisdn(1M), getallpppoutmodem(1M),
     getpppin(1M), getpppout(1M), pppoutexists(1M), removepppin(1M),
     removepppout(1M), and stopppp(1M) for more information.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1M)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Add an Outgoing PPP Connection
               This task lets you create an Outgoing Connection, which allows
               your system to connect to a remote location using PPP over ISDN
               or modem.  The privileges needed for this task are: Add
               Outgoing PPP(addpppout(1M)) and Test PPP Outgoing
               Existence(pppoutexists(1M)).

     Modify an Outgoing PPP Connection
               This task lets you change the settings for an existing Outgoing
               PPP Connection.  The privileges needed for this task are: Add

               Entry(getpppout(1M)).

     Add an Incoming PPP Connection
               This task lets you create an Incoming Connection, which allows
               a remote location to connect to your system.  The privilege
               needed for this task is: Add Incoming PPP(addpppin(1M)).

     Modify an Incoming PPP Connection
               This task lets you change the settings for an existing Incoming
               Connection.  The privileges needed for this task are: Add
               Incoming PPP(addpppin(1M)), Delete PPP(deleteppp(1M)), Get ISDN
               Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinisdn(1M)), Get ISDN Outgoing
               PPP Entry(getallpppoutisdn(1M)), Get Incoming PPP
               Entry(getpppin(1M)), Get Modem Incoming PPP
               Entries(getallpppinmodem(1M)), and Get Modem Outgoing PPP
               Entries(getallpppoutmodem(1M)).

     Remove a PPP Connection
               This task lets you remove a PPP connection.  The privilege
               needed for this task are: Remove Incoming PPP(removepppin(1M)),
               Remove Outgoing PPP(removepppout(1M)), Get ISDN Incoming PPP
               Entries(getallpppinisdn(1M)), Get ISDN Outgoing PPP
               Entry(getallpppoutisdn(1M)), Get Modem Incoming PPP
               Entries(getallpppinmodem(1M)), and Get Modem Outgoing PPP
               Entries(getallpppoutmodem(1M)).
