Well, for the ppp side of things, I set up the pppd to start from the init
scripts. My command line looks like

/usr/sbin/pppd aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 158.152.1.222 call red

Where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is my IP address ( the static one from demon )

This will set up the interface on the correct IP. 'call red' bit points me
at a file called 'red' with specific options for the demon red ROMP.

These would be

connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/scripts/chat.script.red"
defaultroute
demand
name susie
remotename demon

Which should give you the routing and demand dailing that you need. There is
nothing special about the chat script.

I'm using pppd 2.3 patch level 5

As for Apache, the newer version have a new policy of putting all of the
configuration in httpd.conf. To maintain compatabilty with older versions
though, it still reads srm.conf and access.conf and applies the changes.

Empty or rename these files to fix the problem.
