In my experience, Kppp is better (although there is a quirk in the
configuration). Even if you don't use KDE, if you at least have the KDE
libraries, it should work and be easy to configure.
The aforementioned quirk is in the configuration of a manual login script:
It will 'forget' the last line, which refers to pppd (I seem to remember),
as soon as you go in to edit it again. It only means that you have to add
that line each time you edit the script. It ISN'T a big problem.
