Anyone have kppp working under potato?
I started with the Corel/debian linux download version.
Kppp worked fine. Then I made lots of changes.
I did an "apt-get dist-upgrade" to potato, which went fine.
This removed the Corel kde installation so I got the standard
kde 1.1.2 debian distribution from kde.org, which also went
fine.
I noticed the pppconfig/pon/poff feature which comes with
debian, so I went thru the configuration and now pon/poff
works fine.
BUT!!! kppp (which I love and planned to use primarily) is
now broken.
kppp will dial and connect to the point where the modem
returns a "CONNECT" and then the modem hangs up instantly,
with no useful diagnostic messages.
The same happens whether dialing as root or as me, so file
perms are not the problem.
I wonder if the configuration files left behind by pppconfig
could be interfering with kppp?
Any hints much appreciated!
P.S.--I also installed xfree86 4.0 in the meantime, which
also seems to be working fine. I can't imagine how that
would break kppp, though.
