DESCRIPTION
       You can use the ppp component to create a ppp profile that you
       associate with a tunnel using the tunnel component. For more
       information about creating a tunnel see net tunnel.

EXAMPLES
       create ppp my_ppp

       Creates a PPP profile called my_ppp.

       list ppp all-properties

       Displays all the properties of all the PPP profiles.

OPTIONS
       app-service
	    Specifies the name of the application service to which the object
	    belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the strict-updates
	    option is enabled on the application service that owns the object,
	    you cannot modify or delete the object. Only the application
	    service can modify or delete the object.

       defaults-from
	    Specifies the existing profile from which the system imports
	    settings for the new profile. The default value is ppp.

       description
	    User defined description.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
	    for a description of glob expression syntax.

       lcp-echo-failure
	    Specifies the number of consecutive PPP LCP echo messages that
	    must go unanswered for the server to drop PPP connection. For
	    example, if the server sends number of consecutive PPP LCP Echo
	    Request messages that go unanswered (by Echo Reply), it will close
	    the PPP connection. The default value is 4.

       lcp-echo-interval
	    Specifies the interval, in seconds, between the PPP LCP Echo
	    Request messages that the server sends to the peer (client). The
	    default value is 30.

       name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required
	    for the commands create and modify.

       partition
	    Displays the administrative partition within which this component
	    resides.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular
	    expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular expression])
	    to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
	    regex for a description of regular expression syntax.

       vj   Specifies whether the system uses Van Jacobson Header Compression
	    (also known as VJ compression, or just Header Compression), which
	    is an option in most versions of PPP. VJ is a data compression
	    protocol described in RFC 1144, specifically designed by Van
	    Jacobson to improve TCP/IP performance over slow serial links. The
	    default value is disabled.
