The Connection Name field determines what name will be used to refer to this connection when
choosing which connection to dial automatically at boot, or which connection to use as a backup for
another link.
The PPP Username field determines the user name to use when connecting to the PPP server as
specified by your network provider. If the username is not required, you can enter “none” in this field,
or leave it blank.
The Password field determines the password to use when connecting to the PPP server. If the
password is not required, you can enter “none” in this field, or leave it blank.
The Default Route checkbox enables automatically setting a default route using this interface
whenever it connects. If this is your primary connection you probably want this option enabled.
The Use peer DNS checkbox enables automatically setting the DNS server entries that the PPP
server recommends. Enable this option unless you provide your own name servers.
The Maximum Dial Attempts field specifies number of consecutive connection attempts the modem
dial the phone number before it stops. If the number is 0, it will never stop and dial until the connection
is established. Otherwise, a Reconnect button will appear in the Modem Main Menu after specified
number of consecutive failed connection attempts.
The Dial Interval field determines how many seconds to wait before re-initiating the link after it
terminates.
