-.br
-.B poff
-.RB [ " \-r " ]
-.RB [ " \-d " ]
-.RB [ " \-c " ]

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page describes the \fBpon\fP, \fBpoff\fP and \fBplog\fP
-scripts, which allow users to control PPP connections.
-.PP
-.B pon
-starts a PPP connection to a provider, reading its configuration from
-.I /etc/ppp/peers/provider
-and using the chatscript
-.IR /etc/chatscripts/provider .
-This is the default setting if
-.B isp-name
-is not given.
-.PP
-To start a PPP connection to a different provider, specify an
-.B isp-name
-operand. For instance, to use provider configuration "provider2" run
-.IP
-pon provider2
-.PP
-The system will then use the chatscript
-.I /etc/chatscripts/provider2
-and the options file
-.IR "/etc/ppp/peers/provider2".
-You can use
-.B pon
-to run multiple, simultaneous PPP connections.
-.PP
-.B poff
-closes a PPP connection. If more than one PPP connection exists, the one named
-in the argument to
-.B poff
-will be killed, e.g.
-.IP
-poff myprovider2
-.PP
-will terminate the connection to myprovider2, and leave the PPP connection
-to "myprovider1" up and running.
-.PP
-.B plog
-shows you the last few lines of
-.IR /var/log/ppp.log .
-If that file doesn't exist, it shows you the last few lines of
-.IR /var/log/syslog
-file, but excluding the lines not generated by pppd.
-This script makes use of the
-.BR tail (1)
-command, so arguments that can be passed to
-.BR tail (1)
-can also be passed to
-.B plog.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.SS Options for pon
-.TP
-.B isp-name
-is the name of the ISP connection to start. If no
-.B isp-name
-is specified,
-.B pon

-.TP
-.B "\-c"
-causes
-.BR pppd (8)

-.B isp-name
-is given it will be ignored.
-.TP
-.B "\-h"
-displays help information.
-.TP
-.B "\-v"

-.PP
-If no argument is given it will kill all ppp connections. Like the
-.B "\-a"
-option.
-.SS Options for plog
-.TP
-.B argument
-is any argument you can also pass to
-.BR tail (1).
-.SH REQUIREMENTS
-.BR pppd (8)
-must be installed and configured.
-.PP
-.I /etc/chatscripts/provider
-is the default chatscript, used when
-.B pon
-is invoked without an argument. Edit it to suit your needs. See
-.BR chat (8).
-.PP
-.I /etc/ppp/peers/provider
-is the default options file, used when
-.B pon
-is invoked without an argument. Edit it to suit your needs. See
-.BR pppd (8).
-.PP
-When
-.B pon
-is invoked with an
-.B isp-name
-argument, different filenames are used. For example, if
-.B isp-name
-"myprovider" is specified, chatscript
-.I /etc/chatscripts/myprovider
-and options file
-.IR /etc/ppp/peers/myprovider
-are used.
-.SH NOTE
-The
-.B plog
-script can only be used by root or another system administrator in
-group "adm" due to security reasons. Also, to have all pppd-generated
-information in one logfile, that plog can show, you need the following
-line in your /etc/syslog.conf file:
-.PP
-local2.* -/var/log/ppp.log
