Re: kppp and pon (provider)
I also had difficulties and after having read all ppp posts from the
archives for the last 7 months I decided to only use pon and to start fresh.
First I uninstalled ppp and pppconfig.
Next I installed fresh copies of ppp and pppconfig.
Then after install was complete I ran pppconfig.
pppconfig is relatively easy to use but there are some gotchas - with my
previous linux installs I was not using PAP (I could not get it to work with
kppp, but a regular chat script would work - this time I ignored that and
just said to use PAP because that is what windoze uses)
So I specified PAP and my full userid in the form userid@domain.com .
Then I just followed all the other prompts and did not touch anything.
Then I rebooted and had pppd running.
After that I ran pon provider.
Once I was successfully connecting then I began to make stepwise changes.
