Re: Debian and KDE (Update 3, It works!! )

Once again, thank you to all who responded to the above.
 
When logged in as "root" I can access "kppp" from the command line. I can
also access it from the "Internet Dialer" icon from within KDE.

As a user in KDE and using the "Internet Dialer" icon I am still getting:

KDEInit could not launch 'kppp': Could not find 'kppp' executable.

This solved the problem in part. It allowed me to dial out but it immediately 
died with a pppd problem. It turned out that because I had already set up a 
dialup, when I was installing, it caused a conflict with kppp. The problem 
was solved be adding "noauth" under the "pppd" in the modem setup.

Thanks again,

Bill.
