[ale] PPP Problems

[Ryan Bridges]

kepp in mind though that wvdial's intuitiveness can be wrong on certain
systems.  And, since it is not at all configurable, will not work for a
lot of people.  I, for one, could never get wvdial to work with
mindspring.  I could just be a moron, which in not unlikely, but i think i
covered my bases:)
