> PPP starts in run levels 2-5 with a respawned startup script in inittab. Don't start it that way. Make a file in /etc/init.d/ that will start/stop it. You can find a skeleton for how to do it in the same dir that's right for your distro. > It does not seem to start until late in the boot process however. After > most everything else is loaded.

The you need ppp to be symlinked from /etc/rc3.d/S70ppp0 to /etc/init/ppp0 (I'm not sure about the number after S). > I am not sure how to make the order change (as someone suggessted) given > that this is run from inittab.

No, it's a configuration issue. ppp doesn't belong in inittab if it needs to run before bind.
