Add any users who want to be able to dial to group "network" (in
/etc/groups). Group changes take place at next login (i.e. if you are
logged in as the user when you change the group, you need to log out
and back in again). And, add "allow users <yourname>" to ppp.conf,
either in Default or the relevant section. (You can use * to allow
all users).

Hope this helps,
