-A typical use of PPP is to provide a network connection, via a pair of
-modems and a telephone connection, from one system to a second system
-which has a permanent link to the Internet. When this network
-connection is established, the first system is then also connected to
-the Internet. It can establish connections with any other Internet
-host. Users can then use a wide range of network-based applications on
-the first system, such as telnet, ftp, rlogin, email, WWW browsers, sup,
-or X clients and servers.
+A typical use of PPP is to provide a network connection, via a modem,
+between a workstation and an Internet Service Provider (ISP). When this
+connection is established, the workstation is connected to the internet,
+and applications running on the workstation can then make connections to
+other hosts anywhere on the internet. This package can be used at
+either or both ends of such a link.
