Jeanette, et al-
I faced the same problem when trying to connect to my company's network via
Kppp.
Luckily, Kppp provides login scripting support which eliminates the need to
have a terminal window open when logging in.
Below are the steps I took to make this happen:
---
Start kpp
click on "Setup"
Hi-light your dialup account and click "Edit"
Click on the "Login Script" tab
Using the built in scripting tool, and my script as a guide, set up the
script for your connection.....
(You'll probably have to change the two "Expect" lines below to reflect what
your ISP is sending to you...also, Note that the system I'm dialing into
requires 2 carriage returns before the login prompt appears - the 2 'SEND'
commands at the beginning accomplish this for me)
Send
Send
Expect - ID: (This would probably be Username for you...)
Prompt - Enter User ID:
Expect - Passcode (...and This would probably be Password for
you)
Prompt - Enter Passcode:
Pause 5 (I had to delay the start of PPP services in order to
give the
network a chance to sync)
Send PPP (finally, start the PPP services on your
system)
---
The best thing about doing it this way is that it's totally graphical; KDE
handles the user (login) interface for you...
Hope this helps!
