[Cbsupport] Re:- KDE 3's Internet Dialer (kppp) ......

Hi All.

I'd like to know if anybody out there is using KDE 3's Internet Dialer (kppp)
& has got it to work. For i've just upgraded my computer to KDE 3 & the Internet
Dialer will not authenticate my password & user name to my ISP. So i checked &
double checked my password & all the settings for a 56K V90 serial modem.

I know in KDE 2, you had to edit the 35th line in the /etc/ppp/options file,
from auth to noauth & i did this with KDE 3 but without success.
We even typed someone elses user name & password, also without success.
To test it on a different computer, we created a user on a new KDE 3 install
& tried it on that, also without success. We kept on getting "status 19" error
messages.

So if anyone out there has KDE 3 installed & is using the Internet Dialer (kppp)
i'd love to hear how they got it working. For i've got a computer here that i
cannot connect to the internet with. I like kppp for i can keep checking the
time i've been on the net by just putting the cursor over it's icon that docks
onto the panel when in use.

I hope somebody can help me, for i've enough gray hairs.

Cheers,
Vic Koci.
