+.SH NAME
+pon, poff, plog \- starts up, shuts down or lists the log of PPP connections
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pon
+[ isp-name [ options ] ]
+.br
+.B poff
+[ -r ] [ -d ] [ -c ] [ -a ] [ -h ] [ isp-name ]
+.br
+.B plog
+[ arguments ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page describes the \fBpon\fP, \fBplog\fP and \fBpoff\fP
+scripts, which allow users to control PPP connections.
+..
+.SS pon
+\fBpon\fP, invoked without arguments, runs the \fI/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot\fP
+file, if it exists and is executable. Otherwise, a PPP connection will be
+started using configuration from \fI/etc/ppp/peers/provider\fP.
+This is the default behaviour unless an \fBisp-name\fP argument is given.
+.PP
+For instance, to use ISP configuration "myisp" run:
+.IP
+pon myisp
+.PP
+\fBpon\fP will then use the options file \fI/etc/ppp/peers/myisp\fP.
+You can pass additional \fBoptions\fP after the ISP name, too.
+\fBpon\fP can be used to run multiple, simultaneous PPP connections.
+..
+.SS poff
+\fBpoff\fP closes a PPP connection. If more than one PPP connection exists,
+the one named in the argument to \fBpoff\fP will be killed, e.g.
+.IP
+poff myprovider2
+.PP
+will terminate the connection to myprovider2, and leave the PPP connections
+to e.g. "myprovider1" or "myprovider3" up and running.
+.PP
+\fBpoff\fP takes the following command line options:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B "\-r"
+causes the connection to be redialed after it is dropped.
+.TP

+.SS plog
+\fBplog\fP shows you the last few lines of \fI/var/log/ppp.log\fP. If that
+file doesn't exist, it shows you the last few lines of your
+\fI/var/log/syslog\fP 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 \fBplog\fP.
+.PP
+Note: the \fBplog\fP 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 \fI/etc/syslog.conf\fP file:
+.PP
+local2.* -/var/log/ppp.log
