(I don't use pppd, so I can't offer much help) First, he is trying to use the kppp tool in the KDE suite. If the pppd needs to be configured first, that bit of information would be helpful. I do know that Robert has followed all of the steps in the ppp section of the hand book to the letter, and gets the same results as he does with kppp, namely, the instant that the ppp session is initiated, the connection is dropped. Robert is running 3.3-stable on a PIII, GENERIC kernel. He is using an external USR V-everything modem. And the settings for his ISP are correct.... He _is_ tech-support at the ISP. Any suggestions, from what logs to check, to what needs to be done in what order would be of great help.
