PPP = Point to Point Protocol
TCP/IP = Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
There is a list for PPP related issues: linux-ppp@vger.rutgers.edu
Once you set up PPP, you can run a mail client program like pine on your
local machine and via PPP your machine will behave as though it is on the
internet, from any virtual console.
For more information, check the HOWTO documents at:
