SYNOPSIS
       ppp-watch interface-name [boot]

DESCRIPTION
       ppp-watch manages one PPP connection,  including	 starting,  stopping,
       and  redialing.	 It  makes  starting and stopping the connection syn-
       chronous activities.

       ppp-watch is not really meant to be called directly.  It	 should	 only
       be used from within the ifup-ppp script.

OPTIONS
       interface-name
	      The name of the PPP interface to bring up.

       boot   ppp-watch	 is  being  called  at	boot time and should time out
	      after a while if the PPP connection does not come up  in	order
	      not to hang the boot sequence.
