You, knowing about previous release, are used to call "ppp" the
internet connection, but logically, for a total newbie, the word
"isp" is also more expressive, or I've to call it "internet"?
A "setup internet" may works for you?
Please, try to understand also the "programmer's point of view":
the code in the setup/network is common to 4-5 differents
network setup. This is the basic motivation.
