NAME
       smpppd - SuSE Meta PPP Daemon

DESCRIPTION
       smpppd is a daemon that controls several internet connections.

       Use  a  frontend like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet to control the
       connections and retrieve status informations.  Those frontends can also
       run on different hosts.

       The  configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2 but there
       are some additional options available in the file /etc/smpppd.conf.

       smpppd is not intended for direct use.  Use rcsmpppd instead.

       These options are recognized by smpppd.
