Success! (This message sent from Debian). (Apologies for not quoting the original message, I haven't imported the previous mailboxes yet). I checked /var/log/messages as suggested and found that a program called diald seemed to have been remarkably active. I don't use diald so eventually, having found no 'nice' way to stop it starting up, I just uninstalled it. And KPPP immediately started working! Many thanks for the help. I have quite a few things still to resolve, such as KPPP will only start if I type 'kppp' in a terminal window, not from the menu; but then there are several other programs that will work or not depending which menu I select them from. These look more like Debian-specific problems so I'll probably find a Debian list to ask about them. Just in case it's of interest, here's a bit of /var/log/messages: Jun 14 22:13:39 alti kernel: PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling) Jun 14 22:13:39 alti kernel: PPP line discipline registered.
