>        gnome-ppp is a utility to assist users to connect to the internet.
	It provides a complete replacement for the chat scripting program, and
	uses the standard pppd daemon to establish a pppd connection.
      </P
><P
>	Although gnome-ppp attempts to make configuring a PPP connection
	as easy as possible, there are still several files that need to be
	edited as superuser (root) for gnome-ppp to work properly.  gnome-ppp
	itself is not a set-user-id program, nor does it have any helper
	programs that pose any security risk.  gnome-ppp uses the permissions
	of the /usr/sbin/pppd program, which the user of gnome-ppp must
	have permission to execute.
