Please excuse my ignorance, but I haven't found a FAQ on this subject.
If one exists, could someone please direct me to it?

Could someone please briefly explain what ppp is?  Does it stand for
anything?  It seems to be a protocol for sending TCP/IP packets over
asynchronous serial lines... correct?

Sorry again for asking something which is probably obvious to most
of you...

Any help is appreciated!
