Installing
----------

If your "wish" is somewhere else than "/usr/local/bin/wish",
then edit "tkpppload" and modify the first line as needed.

If you want to edit the font or the colors, these are defined right at 
the beginning of the script, so for the time being you can edit these
here.

Run "make" to create a shared library (pppstat.so) which is used by the
TclTk script (for gettings information on the ppp link).

Run "make install" as root (or change the install directory in the
Makefile to somewhere you have write privilidges to).

One final thing you have to do is edit your /etc/ppp/ip-up.local (or
its equivalent on your system; this file gets run when an ppp
connection has been established) and put in the lines:

echo `date +"%s"` > /etc/ppp/UP
chmod a+r /etc/ppp/UP

For now I am imitating what xpppload does, until I can think of
something cleaner. Also in your /etc/ppp/ip-down you might want to
remove this file (UP).
