Hi i came across on such  description of setiing up and configuring SatLink-DVB card  
Instalation PPTP for SatLink-DVB on Linux

  1.. Set up the ppp-2.3.8.tar.gz package or higher (the last version you can always get at ftp://ftp.linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp/:
   
  tar zxvf ppp-2.3.8.tar.gz 
  cd ppp-2.3.8 
  ./configure
  make
  su
  make install
  ----------
  2.. **<>The first thing why is it called pptp ?? is it sth different from ppp ????
  -------------------
  3.. Write the following to the /etc/ppp/options file:
  lock
  +chap 
  noauth
  defaultroute
    
  4.. Write the following to the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file:
  your_login "xxxxxxxxx" "your_password" *
    
  5.. Set up the ppp-linux 1.0.2.tar.gz package or higher (the last version you can get at http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/PPTP/release/:
  tar zxvf pptp-linux-1.0.2.tar.gz
  cd pptp-linux-1.0.2
  make
  su
  cp pptp_callmgr /usr/local/bin
  cp pptp /usr/local/bin
  --------------**<>What is pptp ??? what does it do ?? may I use normal ppp ?  
  6.. Put the pptp and pptp.run files to the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. Read and edit it if needed. You must edit the pptp.run file. You must change the your_login words to your login.
    
  7.. Run these commands: 
  chmod 750 /etc/rc.d/init.d/pptp
  chmod 640 /etc/rc.d/init.d/pptp.run
    
  8.. If you are using the SkyMedia-200 DVB card, put the sm200 and sm200.run files to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.
  Read and edit it if needed.
   
  Run these commands: 
  chmod 750 /etc/rc.d/init.d/sm200
  chmod 640 /etc/rc.d/init.d/sm200.run
    
  9.. If you are using the Pent@Net DVB card, put the pentanet. file to your /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.
  Read and edit it if needed. 
   
  Run this command:
  chmod 750 /etc/rc.d/init.d/pentanet
