   Someone once asked Einstein "What is time?" and Einstein replied "I 
can't tell you what time is, but I can tell you how to make a clock."

   How do I establish a dialup ppp connection with my ISP in the context 
of BlueBottle?

   I shouldn't think that would be as hard as making a clock, but if 
even if it were, wouldn't that be all the more reason to invest some 
effort into automating the task?
