Hi to everybody. I have a problem with ppp. When I execute it as a normal user, the machine slows down a lot. For example, I can't execute "startx", it simply doesn't do anything. I've tried doing ps -A and it shows that "ppp -background provider" uses a lot of CPU time, even more than konqueror, for example. Then I tried using PPP interactively, and then the CPU time was reduced to normal levels, but even though I coudn't execute startx. Everything works allright when I kill ppp. Anybody knows a solution ?
