PPPSTATUS(1)							  PPPSTATUS(1)

NAME
       pppstatus - console-based PPP status monitor

SYNOPSIS
       pppstatus  [ -i <interface> ] [ -v vga|mono ] [ -s <speed> ] [ -d <con‐
       sole> ] [ --bytes ] [ --packets ]
	   [ --errors ] [ --time ] [ --ipaddress ] [ --costs ]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the pppstatus command.  This	manual
       page  was  written  for	the  Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       pppstatus is a console-based utility for displaying the status of a PPP
       link,  including connection verification, connecting time, costs calcu‐
       lation, top speed, e-mail check, ip address, graphical  statistics,  TX
       and  RX leds, interface selection, and more. It even supports xDSL with
       pppoe.

       There are two config for pppstatus: /etc/pppstatus/pppstatus.cfg	 which
       is always read first, and ~/.pppstatus/pppstatus.cfg which is read when
       the user is not root.

       For further hints see /usr/share/doc/pppstatus/README.

OPTIONS
       The following options are available.

       -i <interface>
	      Specify active interface to use.	<interface> is	one  of	 ppp0,
	      ppp1, etc.

       -v vga|mono
	      Select video mode.

       -s <speed>
	      Set your online connection speed.	 <speed> is 33.6, 56, etc.

       -d <console>
	      Make  pppstatus  a  daemon.  <console> is the console to display
	      on: 10 for /dev/tty/10, 11 for /dev/tty11, etc.

       --bytes
	      Display statistics about bytes transmitted and received.

       --packets
	      Display statistics about packets transmitted and received.

       --errors
	      Display error information.

       --ipaddress
	      Show your IP address.

       --costs

	      tions on current month according to your provider's tariffs.

COMMANDS
       r      Redraw the display.

       q      Quit.

SIGNALS
       In daemon mode HUP causes the config file to be reread.	In other modes
       the program cleans up and exits.

FILES
