I seem to recall having seen one once as well, but it seems to have
fallen out of distribution. It was called the Linux-ISP-HOWTO (or
something along those lines). I do, however, suggest that if you don't
already know how to do this, and you are thinking of setting up a
commercial ISP, then you are definately biting off more than you can
chew!

However, if you want to set up a box to have a few friends log into,
have a look at IPMasq and mgetty. That should allow you to have ppl.
connect via PPP.

Cheers,
