I assume that you mean that you login in vc2 and start X Windows (and in your
case KDE) by running 'startx'. X Windows should run in vc7 and will switch to
that automaticly. Try looking for it there using Alt-F7.

When the connection is made, kppp should minimise itself and pop a small
icon into the panel tray ( a bit like windows ). You should see a small black
box with a white border and two red LED's (for transmit and receive) that
flash green when data is being transmitted/received. Right mouse button
click on this and you get a menu where you can either disconnect, or open
up a kppp dialogue box,
