Just as an aside to that, when I last had MDK on my system it annoyed me
that I had to type in the admin password to run KPPP.  Small, I know, but
small things bug small minds, I guess.
How do/can you (of course you can, that's why we all love Linux) change
that?  (newbie instructionset probably req'd!! ;-))

Quoting Keith McGavin's post on 10/8/3:

"As #root:

'which kppp'                (should show kppp in /bin)
'ls -la /bin/kppp'          (shows kppp is softlink to 'consolehelper')
'rm /bin/kppp'
'ls -la /sbin/kppp'
'chmod u+s /sbin/kppp'
'ln -s /sbin/kppp /bin/kppp'  "
Cheers
