pppd is used in various scenarios to create a network connection according to the PPP standard between two systems over serial connections. Several configuration files can be put in /etc/ppp/peers, passwords in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets, and "inet ppp" definitions in the file /etc/network/interfaces.

[edit] GPRS
See manually using GPRS.
The main scenario on Openmoko is the cellar GPRS connection for internet access.
[edit] Bluetooth DUN
Another feature that requires PPP is accessing an Openmoko device over Bluetooth within the DUN ("dial-up networking") profile.
[edit] Remote pppd
The GSM modem of an Openmoko device can be made available for a computer connected via USB or Bluetooth, using a serial device, SSH, or a TCP port. In this case, pppd run on the computer can establish a GPRS connection.
[edit] QEMU
See QEMU#Simple network connection with pppd.
If instead of a real Openmoko device QEMU is used to emulate one, it can be networked with the host computer via an emulated serial port.
[edit] VPN
Secure VPN (virtual private network) connections can be established using pppd over SSH or PPTP.
