Another alternative is wvdial. I like it a little better.. to help debug your kppp issue, you might try running this command in a terminal prior to starting your KPPP.. tail -f syslog This will show you all the logged data from kppp. If not, then you can edit your kppp to log more data an dwhere you want it sent (I think) anyway... hope this helps... -- Cheers: Mike ..
