Connexion doesn't care about pppd's configuration-files at all, the only
file it cares about is pppd itself. If you have problems with this it's
pppd that's incorrectly set up.

Yes, Connexion runs in the MiNT-domain so case-sensitivity is on. That's
also valid for pppd, perhaps this is the source of your problems.

You should download the latest Connexion-beta, earlier versions had some
problems with MiNT < 1.14.
