If you log into a cisco, you'll get a "Username" prompt... it can
vary depending on what you're calling. And yes, the script IS case
sensitive. :)

That's just a list of interfaces that are automagically configured at boot
time. The ppp*/tun* interfaces will normally be configured by ppp/pppd and
should not need any manual configuration.
