### SafeFire PPP GUI

SafeFire PPP GUI is designed to be simple and easy to use interface to the basic SafeFire PPP functionality. It is not intended to provide access to all capabilities of SafeFire PPP. Despite it's simplicity it can handle most the tasks with minimal effort. If there is some functionality that present in command line version of SafeFire PPP is needed but it can't be configured via GUI interface then it is possible to update appropriate configuration file and use it with GUI as well.

SafeFire PPP supports one configuration per .INI file. So if you wish to use it for several accounts you should specify different .INI files as a command line parameter:

> pmppp -Cc:\path\myfile.ini

If .INI file does not exists then it will be created.

Another way is to create several program objects and specify different .INI files there.
