This is what it does, and gets the proper local and remote IP addresses.
My wonder is to why and what it does by starting:
pppd 207.164.7.1:207.164.7.1 /dev/ttyS1

The IP address is cisco.zeuter.com, which is logical, as the script 
I used to set up the internet was written by Tim Burden<tburden at zeuter.
com>. Does my computer do anything with 207.164.7.1? Can I put some 
other IP in there instead? If so, what can it be?

Thanks.
