Description François MASSON 2003-12-27 03:14:11 UTC 
the net.ppp0 script use the sleep command with "0.5" parameter.
On certains locales (mine is French) the separator is a coma. i.e. one should have writen "sleep 0,5" instead of "sleep 0.5"
The easier wait to solve this problem is to use "sleep 1", which isn't local dependant.
