The Web interface does

not check that the content of the files will be

understood. You should ensure that the file is valid before committing
any changes, referring to the Linux manual page for pppd(8) if you

are unsure.

When you have finished editing a file, clicking Save changes will

write the changes to disk. The changes will not take effect, however,
until the PPP services are restarted. You can restart all running PPP

services by clicking

Restart PPP; whilst this occurs, the network will

be briefly unavailable.

options

The file /etc/ppp/options sets the default options for the PPP

daemon. These will be applied to all PPP connections and to any of the
serial ports which are running the

ppp service. The file is treated as a

list of words, each either an option or an argument to a previous
option. For a list of the available options, and a full explanation of the

format of the /etc/ppp/options file, see the Linux manual page for
pppd(8).

You can specify additional options for each serial port separately using

the

serial.x.ppp configuration option, which can be found on the Serial

port configuration page for that port.
