My exploits with ppp & pppd led to many different tools. None of the gui frontends I tried could be made to work-by me anyway. There seems to be a setuid root problem in foresight. I am able to connect with wvdial ( as root ) but no matter what I do to permissions I can't connect any other way. The most recent frontend I used is a gui called chestnut dialer. It compiled nicely and can be configured. This is the connection failed error message from that applet:

"pppd: /tmp/conary/builds/ppp/_ROOT_/usr/lib/./pppd/2.4.3/passwordfd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

pppd: Couldn't load plugin passwordfd.so"

Any thoughts on that?
