[ale] Re: /etc/ppp scripts (jazzed up)

[Bob's Bulk mail]

In case you haven't already gotten a dozen copies, mine are jazzed up so
that when PPP comes down I hear the sound of glass breaking and when it
comes up I hear the sound of a car engine revving up and also I sync my
time to the Navy Observatory's clock.

Oh, you can FTP the sounds from ftp.mindspring.com/users/cavu too.
