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 informa-
      tions.  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.
