That's interesting. I'm a newcomer to Debian, but I notice that the official Woody release 3.0 lists on Disk 3: kppp_2.2.2-14_i386.deb I only have disks 1 and 2, so I downloaded it via ftp (using RedHat - that RedHat hard drive's been in and out of my computer like a boot floppy!). I thought it a bit odd that KPPP was on disk 3 when *all* the other apps I commonly use are on Disks 1 and 2. However, I would have thought that if Debian include it in their official release, it should work? Next question - what do Debian users use instead of KPPP for a graphical front end/dialler? I've used Red Hat's RHPPP in the past, but that doesn't seem to be included on any Woody disks. Since Debian seems to have a strong bias towards logging users straight into X, I'd find it odd if they're expected to open a terminal window and invoke pppd from the command line.
