Re: Kppp and ppp

[Christopher Martin <christopher.martin@utoronto.ca>]

Hello,

I had a similar-sounding problem just the other day, and Andreas' 
suggestion worked splendidly to solve my problem. It is a 
longstanding issue with kppp. The other thing you'll want to do is 
check permissions - try running kppp as root ("kdesu kppp") to make 
sure that's not the source of the problem. Otherwise, I added my user 
to the "dip" and "dialout" groups, and that seemed to give it all the 
power it needed.

Hope that helps,
Christopher Martin
